Northeast College D1 Playoffs are set

Ivy II representative Dartmouth and Ivy II second place finisher Harvard move on to the NRU round of eight teams playoffs this weekend.

After much discussion, the inclusion of the newly formed Ivy League Rugby Conference has changed the playoff structure in 2009. The top seeds go to the first place finisher in each of the four conferences. Dartmouth College will play host to the New England runner-up Boston College, while Harvard University will travel to Syracuse to play the Hammerheads.
