Let's Find Some Front-Runners in the NCR Women D1 Playoffs
NCR's DIAA playoff roster is clearing up.
Here's who made what seed:
The Liberty Conference champion is Boston College, with UMass runner-up. Both will be in the quarterfinals November 18 with BC hosting and, likely, UMass on the road.
Virginia Tech secured the MARC title over West Chester.
How much of a forgone conclusion is the NCR Women's D1 playoff?
Well, be careful. It seems a straight shot for Notre Dame College in 2022 and it didn't work out that way. Michigan's overall team pace outstripped the Falcons to win the championship last fall, and the Wolverines aren't all that different this year.
Despite the laudable efforts by many in college rugby, especially NCR this past year or so, to define who belongs in what division, there are always gray areas.
