GRR: NCR D1
LIberty's NCR D1 league continues to be an intriguing conference as some teams found out this week.
Rivalry ClashIona were defeated by nearby rivals Fairfield 23-13 in what Fairfield DOR Austin Ryan called "an absolute dog fight against a bitter rival."
Both teams have suffered from injuries but that didn't mean they would be hesitant to get stuck in.
Over 40 men's D1-level college games are on the slate this week.
After something of a line in the sand was officially drawn, all teams in the Big 10 Conference will be members in USA Rugby and pay the CRAA $20-per-play fee.
The Liberty D1 season got going this weekend with four games: Brown vs Siena, Dartmouth vs Syracuse, AIC vs Fairfield, and Iona vs Fordham.
All four games were competitive, or even extremely close.
Iowa Central CC’s second-half surge to defeat Iowa State this past weekend was certainly a team effort, but it’s hard to ignore the contributions of one player.
Takudzwa Musingwini scored three tries against one of the top D1AA teams in the nation, slicing up the Cyclone defense and maybe at times putting fans in mind of a slightly more famous Takudzwa who suited up for the USA.
