Already we have a shakeup in the Big Rivers NCR D1 conference and we've only had one game.

The Engineers beat rivals Albany 39-0 two weeks ago and then beat a tough SUNY Oswego side 68-5.
This year’s NCR Women’s D1 competition is wide open.
Good teams from the 2023-24 season remain strong, and there are some significant additions to the competition this year. Here are some teams to watch:
