GRR: Sacred Heart
In what was one of the most entertaining and dramatic NIRA games of the season, West Point held off Sacred Heart 26-20 on Alumni Night in Fairfield, Conn.
This was a game that wasn’t perfectly-played—both teams made errors—but it was back-and-forth throughout and hinged on several key moments.
The most compelling game of the NIRA weekend as September ended was in D-II.
West Chester, having lost their opener by a significant margin, rebounded against Frostburg and then ran up against New Haven on Saturday. That game was a barnburner.
NIRA’s D-I is still very tight as evidenced by Harvard’s five-point victory over Sacred Heart Friday night.
Harvard improved to 2-0-1 while SHU dropped to 1-1.
The NCAA D1 teams kick off their NIRA league seasons this coming weekend and we’re taking a look at it.
Perhaps the biggest upstart program in women's collegiate rugby this year was Sacred Heart.
