GRR: NIRA Women
Quinnipiac held defending NIRA D-I champions Harvard to a 20-20 tie Friday night at Harvard's Mignone Field.
The Crimson opened the game with a try from Lennox London. Quinnipiac answered with Layla Cox capping off a nice series of passes to make it 5-5.
Harvard responded with a maul capped off by captain Carly Lehman.
After a fairly robust opening weekend last week, NIRA eases off a bit with several cross-divisional games.
Of the six games on the slate, four are across divisions.
Queens University Charlotte’s opening salvo for the NIRA D-I season was a head-turner.
Navy is a very good team and Queens was coming in with a new Head Coach and some expectation of a little turmoil. But Queens came away with an impressive 40-7 win.
Dartmouth, Harvard, Sacred Heart, and Queens all logged victories in NIRA's D-I, with four winners in five games.
The NIRA season starts with a bang.
Brown and Quinnipiac likely see themselves as relatively equal and they are battling Saturday. This game could well have a massive impact on the playoffs in November.
