West Chester, having lost their opener by a significant margin, rebounded against Frostburg and then ran up against New Haven on Saturday. That game was a barnburner.
We see a bit of sisterhood, some worldliness, and plenty of challenges this week in NIRA.
Last week we saw yet another reason to keep a close eye on Quinnipiac.

This year’s NCR Women’s D1 competition is wide open.

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.
