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.

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.
