St. Louis University qualified for the USA Rugby National DII College 7s this past weekend, winning the Spring Hill College 7s.

It was an odd situation for SLU as they had initially planned to play in Nash Bash, a 15s tournament, but the team later decided to shoot to qualify for nationals, and so split their squad.

The SLU 7s team defeated Spring Hill and Tulane but lot to Florida in pool play. That set them up against Alabama in the semifinals. SLU beat the Tide to make the final and faced Florida once again. This time, the teams played to a 14-14 tie and in overtime St. Louis scored to win 21-14.
