GRR: DI Elite
Saher Hamdan plays center for Life University, except when she's a hooker, a flanker, No. 8 ... or pretty much anywhere in the backline.
This MA Sorensen Award Finalist can play almost anywhere, and she does it all at a high level. A high level,s he stresses, that is maintained by her teammates at Life University.
We know the D1 Elite and the D1 Women's College finalists.
Both games will be part of the CRAA Finals Weekend April 30 at Aveva Stadium in Houston.
In D1 Elite Life and Lindenwood both posted shutouts in the semis.
In D1, there was one shutout, for Virginia, and BYU did allow a penalty goal.
The D1A playoffs start this weekend with the four teams in that division playing semifinals Saturday and the final on CRAA Finals Weekend on April 30.
Lindenwood faces Penn State in St. Charles, Mo. Lindenwood is 11-0 and has logged impressive wins over women's clubs Life West, Chicago North Shore, Chicago Lions, Colorado Gray Wolves, and the St. Louis Sabres.
The College Rugby Association spring championships weekend is set for April 30 at Aveva Stadium in Houston with four major titles set to be handed out.
Three of those will be for women, including the Spring Championships for D2 and D1. The D2 semifinals will actually be held on Friday, April 29 leading into the championship day.
Perhaps the biggest game in women's D1 and NIRA college rugby was Thursday night's Life University vs Penn State clash.
Life won 27-19, but that was a pretty good showing from Penn State.
