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.
Quinnipiac's opening two weeks of NIRA competition looked pretty imposing, one the road at Brown and Harvard.
You'd have easily forgiven the Bobcats for losing both of those games, but instead they came away with zero losses. OK, also zero wins as, astonishingly, Quinnipiac tied both games, locking up with Brown 17-17 and then tying the defending champs 20-20 this past Friday night.
Lauren Shissler has a job ahead of her.
Quinnipiac held defending NIRA D-I champions Harvard to a 20-20 tie Friday night at Harvard's Mignone Field.
The Crimson opened the game with a try from Lennox London. Quinnipiac answered with Layla Cox capping off a nice series of passes to make it 5-5.
Harvard responded with a maul capped off by captain Carly Lehman.
