GRR: Endicott
Wheeling University defeated Southern Nazarene 58-17 Saturday to win the NCR Women's D1 championship.
Babson beat Endicott in dramatic fashion 50-45 to advance to the NCR Small College semifinals in Houston.
The game was played on a very windy day in Malden, Mass., and was back-and-forth throughout. Still, well into the second half Babson led 40-14 and looked in control. They weren't.
The NCR Men's Small College championship might get itself a repeat champion.
Endicott defeated Catholic University 33-19 to take 3rd in the NCR Small College playoffs, running out to a commanding 28-0 lead and holding on from there.
It was a wet day in Houston after the early morning rainstorms, and kickoff was delayed slightly due to lightning that, mercifully left and was not to return all day.
