It's a big weekend in NIRA as we look at the ramifications in the Power Rankings and who might tighten their grip on a postseason spot.
We talk a bit about this in our article about the DI Power Rankings.
NIRA DI Power Rankings Released
The National Intercollegiate Rugby Association Power Rankings are out.
The algorithm waits until Week 3 to get fired up because it needs data. So now that we have that data, the first of weekly Power Rankings have been released.
Harvard remains unbeaten in NIRA DI after an impressive showing over Brown.
After falling behind 3-0 the Crimson exploded for 33 straight points going into halftime, and cruised to a 47-8 win.
Tries from Courtney Taylor and freshman Madelyn Hubbell (her first ever for Harvard), were both converted by Ava Frerence.
Navy at Lindenwood highlights this weekend in NIRA DI.
However, Army vs Queens (at the US Naval Academy) is also a key game for both.
Unfortunately, Dartmouth at Princeton has been called off.
Davenport took on Wheeling Saturday in a meeting of the 2024-25 NIRA DII runners-up and the NCR D1 winners.
Hosts Davenport won the game 42-12 led by two tries from Kara Higgins and some strong goalkicking from Leilani Lepe.
