The big question about NIRA, at least for us at GRR World Headquarters, is whether there could have been a different setup of semifinalists.
Yes, Dartmouth was always going to be #1. And yes, Harvard was pretty ensconced at 2nd.
So the question was, could Sacred Heart or Quinnipiac or even Queens have broke into that top four.
This is the final weekend of the regular-season for NIRA; here’s what’s up.
D-IOn the march up the standings, Brown hung on this past weekend to beat Army 40-33 this past week.
That game was quite the thriller and ended in dramatic fashion. Down 40-14 Army scored three tries to make it 40-33 with the clock ticking away.
Army's victory over Quinnipiac gave the Black Knights a huge boost in the NIRA Power Rankings that not only moved them up to third, but to put them on the doorstep of 2nd.
It’s still early days in CRAA’s women’s D1 action, but a classic rivalry match did get played this past weekend.
Arizona State defeated Arizona 22-12 in what was a useful match for both. The Wildcats did lose, but they took a lot of positives out of the game, said club president Aspen Wresinke.
Women's D1 rugby in NCR is probably down to probably seven teams as we get to the business end of October.
