GRR: Life University
South Independent leader Life University had cruised through its first two matrix matches and was looking toward Central Florida, the region’s traditional powerhouse, to provide some resistance in week three. UCF then dropped a 41-17 game to Georgia Tech on Feb. 15, but there was a cushion of forgiveness since that loss occurred on the second day of a double-header weekend.
Life University has recorded another intimidating win in the South Independent DI women’s conference. After opening up its first-ever matrix season with a 90-0 win against Florida State last weekend, the Running Eagles trampled Tennessee 122-0 on Saturday.
Saturday was an important day for Life University, as the women’s team played its first matrix match in the DI Southeast Independent Rugby Conference. The Running Eagles celebrated in convincing fashion, running in 15 tries during the 90-0 victory over Florida State.
Two-time Life University All American prop Paris Hollis has been dismissed from the team's undergraduate squad.
Life University, currently ranked #1 by Goff Rugby Report, and South Carolina, currently ranked 23rd, meet up in what is essentially the opening game for each for the 2015 winter/spring season.
