College Women
AIC beat West Chester to win the NIRA DII final because they refused to allow themselves to ponder defeat, and because they finally had accepted the truth about themselves.
Here are scores from key women's college games around the nation.
Dartmouth held off a West Point 28-18 in a thrilling, action-filled NIRA DI final Saturday night at the US Military Academy.
Paced by a stifling rush defense and two pivotal tries from No. 8 Idia Ihensekhien, the Big Green ran out to an early lead and held on in a back-and-forth match.
ACRA is down to four teams after Saturday's quarterfinals in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Vassar rolled over Colby 53-5 paced bu six tries from Emily Howell. The forwards did well to create space for the backs and the backs exploited that.
The NIRA DI final is Saturday night and features Dartmouth and … Army (?). That’s right, Army.
It’s not that Army wasn’t playing well going into the semifinals, but they had not put themselves in position to be favorites. They finished the regular season 4-2-1, tying Brown (who they beat in OT but the OT didn’t count in NIRA), and losing to Dartmouth and Harvard.
