Lindenwood-Belleville Hosts DII 7s Qualifier
Lindenwood-Belleville hosts a 7s tournament this weekend, and it’s yet another first for a program that didn’t exist a year ago.
L-B made the national DII 15s playoffs, and now is looking at a berth at USA Rugby’s 7s DII nationals. They have an excellent shot, as Head Coach Pat Clifton has worked hard to get his Lynx game time, going to Florida, Tennessee, and Las Vegas to find it.
Tri-State All-Conference Players - Men
The Tri-State Conference has named its Men's All-Conference team:
New Orleans 7s Saturday
Men's college 7s teams from in and around Louisiana will converge on New Orleans this weekend for the New Orleans 7s.
Furman Turns Heads with Tie of IU
Furman University logged a notable result Saturday in a non-conference game, as the DII program tied top DI team Indiana 41-41.
The game was a scrimmage and both teams subbed liberally, but this same meeting two years ago resulted in an 88-5 result for IU. So the improvement, following on a Furman victory over a University of South Carolina squad, is noticeable.
Citadel Defeats Ohio
The Citadel opened up the spring half of the rugby year by hosting DIAA Ohio University on a warm and sunny pitch on the Citadel Campus.
