GRR: Davenport University
We're down to nine teams (not eight), in the DIA playoffs.
Lindenwood put an injury-slammed Wheeling Jesuit to the sword Saturday, beating the Cardinals 89-5. Michael Baska scored three and set up at least two more. Deion Mikesell scored two, and fullback Lungi Tshuma scored 32 points on nine conversions, three penalty goals, and a try. Ashley Harrop also scored twice for the Lions.
It’s a quick turnaround from the regular season to the DIA playoffs, but the first round is indeed upon us this coming weekend.
Eight teams enter the playoffs from all over the country, and all with some significant game-hardening behind them. Here’s a look:
Life University capped off an undefeated run in the Mid-South DIA season with a 34-0 shutout of Davenport in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Arkansas State laid down something of a market this past Saturday, putting a pretty solid Davenport University to the sword 53-0.
It was the first game of the New Year for both teams, and a game that showed observers that the Red Wolves may be among one of the strongest college rugby teams this year.
In a matchup that two years ago would have been an exciting Mid-South Conference opener, Davenport will take on Arkansas State in Jonesboro, Ark.
