GRR: NIRA Women
It was a pretty good week for Harvard women's rugby.
The Crimson saw three alumni, including last year's co-captain, get picked for the USA RWC squad, and then celebrated that by beating Mount St. Mary's 95-3 on Saturday. Harvard was simply too quick in their ball presentation, too quick to reorganize after each phase, and too smooth with the ball.
All divisions in NIRA are in action this weekend, as well as some head-turning non-conference matchups.
Harvard laid down a statement win over the weekend with a 48-19 defeat of Quinnipiac in Week Two of NIRA action.
Sacred Heart's impressive showing against Princeton has sparked a bit more expectation for a tighter NIRA D1 this season.
Confidence and Trust Help Sacred Heart to Opening NIRA Win
Making their debut in NIRA Princeton got a warm rugby welcome from Sacred Heart to the tune of a 53-21 defeat handed out by the Pioneers.
