The Crimson saw three alumni, including last year's co-captain, get picked for the USA RWC squad, and then celebrated that by beating Mount St. Mary's 95-3 on Saturday. Harvard was simply too quick in their ball presentation, too quick to reorganize after each phase, and too smooth with the ball.
All divisions in NIRA are in action this weekend, as well as some head-turning non-conference matchups.
Women's D1 college rugby started to look a little more like the season is underway this week.
