Rivier College vs Daniel Webster College. Used to be a big deal in Nashua but over the years the interest has dwindled. The Women Raiders have posted a 14-1 advantage over the DW Eagles since 1993. The men's teams haven't played in close to 10 years due to DW dropping their program a few years back (only to bring it back 2 years ago) along with the emergence of RIV being a National power. Not much of a rivalry to speak of......
Last night had a different feel however. The match at DWC last night had a playoff atmosphere. Great crowd and both teams battled. Daniel Webster has some young local talent energizing their program and RIV was able to get some of their younger players into the mix to get a look at what playoff atmosphere ball feels like.
Here's hoping the rivalry is renewed - it's great to battle for kings and queens of Nashua.
