GRR: Northeastern
How did they do it?
How did Northeastern hold a team that had scored 53 points against Air Force and 45 against UConn to just one try? Northeastern secured the CRAA Women D1 championship by stifling perhaps the division’s most electric attack.
With the news that the CRAA Fall Classic is back, hosting, in part, the Women's D1 CRAA fall final, let's take a look at who might be there.
In fact, the chase to a place in Charlotte seems to have come down to four teams—UConn, Northeastern, Air Force, and Colorado Mesa.
Northeastern punished Air Force turnovers and won the CRAA Women’s D1 7s Sunday in Dallas.
In a competitive tournament of just seven teams, this event crowned yet another 7s champion, and one that played a strong team game and showcased several players with the ability to score from long range.
The CRAA Women’s D1 College final eight are set and the teams will face off this weekend to decide who plays in the national final December 4 in North Carolina.
Iona and Northeastern clash for the Liberty Conference title Saturday.
Both teams have showed off impressive offenses and can claim to have dominated their division. At the same time, they've been humbled, as well. Iona shipped over 50 to Indiana; Northeastern did the same with Dartmouth.
So there's still stuff to work on.
