College Women
In a sunny afternoon showdown at the US Naval Academy, the Quinnipiac women's rugby team displayed a commanding performance against Navy, culminating in a decisive 38-3 victory in NIRA D-I action Saturday.
We have five non-standings games within NIRA this week, with Oxford University coming to the Northeast to play Harvard and West Point.
Oxford is in-country right now and will train at Harvard Friday before playing the Crimson on Saturday. They then play West Point on Wednesday and the US Naval Academy next Friday.
The NIRA Power Ratings are out now and at first glance there aren't too many surprises.
The Power Ratings for the NCAA Women's D-I programs is what replaces straight standings and serves to compensate for the fact that the season isn't a straight round-robin.
NIRA’s D-I is still very tight as evidenced by Harvard’s five-point victory over Sacred Heart Friday night.
Harvard improved to 2-0-1 while SHU dropped to 1-1.
This is a good weekend in NIRA action with three conference D-I games, one key D-II game, and two that are cross-divisional.
Harvard was a little bit shocked after being held to a tie against Quinnipiac, and Friday they visit Sacred Heart looking to rebound. SHU won big over Princeton, with the usual suspects contributing on the scoresheet—Alyssa Cunningham scored 20 on her own.
