(NCR's Women's DI is made up of conferences and teams that until this season were playing as DII.)
Two Major Matchups Headline Women's College Weekend
Two games headline the women's slate of college games this weekend.
Arizona State Women Surprise GCU
Arizona State pulled off a bit of a shock in women's D1 rugby, defeating Grand Canyon University 36-27.
It was a very well-played game given the layoff for both programs, but to see what is essentially a club team defeat a varsity program shows that such a result is possible.
Women College Action This Weekend
Perhaps the biggest game in women's D1 and NIRA college rugby was Thursday night's Life University vs Penn State clash.
Life won 27-19, but that was a pretty good showing from Penn State.
Women NIRA and D1 College Games This Weekend
Among Women's DI and NIRA games the Big Ten ramps up with three games, all worth a look.
