HANOVER, N.H. – Army West Point women's rugby hits the road to take on Dartmouth in the NIRA Semifinals on Saturday afternoon.
The semifinal match is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. ET from Brophy Field and will broadcast on ESPN+.
The Black Knights enter the fixture as the No. 3 seed with a 4-1 record in NIRA matchups and 5-4 overall record. Meanwhile, the Big Green are the No. 2 seed in the tournament, holding a 5-2 overall record while also posting a 4-1 mark against NIRA opponents.
The conference rivals last faced off on Sept. 5 to open the 2026 fall season. The Black Knights fell 41-8 on the road, with Emily Steen scoring a penalty kick after 23 minutes and Chloe De Leon finding the try zone in the closing minutes of the match.
Last time out, Army secured the star with a 36-5 victory over Navy in the annual Star Match, as part of the Star Series presented by USAA. The Black Knights scored six tries and held their opponent to just five points for the second consecutive match. Grace Macune put the Black Knights ahead early, scoring the opening try in the fifth minute. After surrendering a score to the Mids, Army found the try zone twice more in the first half behind Zainab Ogunlola and Yesenia Morales to take a two-score lead into halftime. The Black Knights controlled the pace of the second half, keeping Navy off the board for the rest of the match and adding three more tries to secure the women's rugby star for the fourth straight season.
Following the semifinal round, West Point will host the NIRA Divisional Championships from Nov. 21-22 at Anderson Rugby Complex.
