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.
Long Island University Women's Head Coach Joe Rasmus is no longer Head Coach of the program.
While Rasmus replied "no comment" to confirming he was out at the college, that wasn't exactly a denial when GRR attempted to confirm reports that he was out at LIU. This week LIU posted the Head Coach job as vacant and is seeking a replacement.
Michigan and Wisconsin Eau Claire both secured repeats championships in NCR women's playoffs, while St. Bonaventure won their first-ever small-college championship.
