Wheeling University raced past Marian 39-30 to win their Big Rivers Conference semifinal Saturday evening in West Virginia.
Wheeling led almost the entire game, but it wasn't until the late minutes of the game that they had a cushion they could be happy with—Marian kept plugging away and would not be dismissed.
Siena will take on Brown in the Liberty NCR D1 final next week after both teams won semifinals this week.
Siena played rivals Iona for the second time this season, coming away with a 28-14 victory.
Navy survived a scare to beat Notre Dame College 50-19 in Rugby East action.
Regardless of the final score, NDC put Navy under some serious pressure and scored two early tries to take a 14-0 lead in the first part of the first half and a 19-15 lead at the break.
The Falcons used the wind intelligently and were quick to ship the ball to space when it was on offer.
