Northern Michigan won the Women's Small College Midwest region with an emphatic victory over York College on Sunday.
The CRAA Women's D1 semifinals are ready for November 19 at the US Naval Academy as both UConn and Navy won games this weekend.
UConn got by Virginia with a late try to win 10-5. The try came after a long period of pressure where the Hokies held out desperately. Finally the Huskies were able to get it over in the corner.
