Lindenwood University women defeated Life University 39-17 today in the opening of the women's D1 Elite (D1A) competition.
For the first time in 18 matches, Lindenwood University's men's team has defeated Life University in a 15-a-side rugby game.
After 17 straight losses to the Running Eagles dating back to 2013, the Lions exploded for a torrid second half to turn a tight one-point game into a bit of a runaway, eventually winning 45-27.
Ice storms put the kibosh on last week's opener for Life University's men's team, and the Running Eagles now will have to content themselves with taking on an imposing Lindenwood team with no buildup.
The D1 Elite season kicks off this weekend with Life University at Lindenwood in what will be an intriguing kickoff to a tight but highly competitive year.
In the first D1A game of the 2021 Lindenwood University rode a solid second half to beat Arkansas State 31-8 in Jonesboro, Ark.
The game was a Mid-South conference game and was a decent start for the Lions in what promises to be a season full of questions.
