GRR: Life University
Navy held off Life University 20-14 in a top-of-the-rankings clash Saturday in Marietta.
After a year of experimenting with a fall-only 15s schedule the women’s D1 Elite league is back to a fall-spring run, with two extra teams.
Life, Lindenwood, and Penn State are now the eastern half of the league, with BYU, Grand Canyon, and Central Washington in the western side.
Life University opened its Rugby East account with a 40-21 victory over Mary Washington Saturday.
This was the first ever Rugby East game for the Running Eagles as they moved into the conference starting this year.
Life University did the double, winning the Men's Premier 7s Sunday just after their women's team did the same.

Weather delayed Lindenwood vs Life Saturday, the fourth of four quarterfinals scheduled for the day, and so it wasn’t until Sunday that the game was played.
Fortunately Life was able to hang on and play the game on Sunday.
