GRR: Life University
For the newly forming varsity teams around the country, there’s something special about playing Eastern Illinois University, the first varsity women’s program in U.S. history. Last Saturday, Life University welcomed EIU to Marietta, Ga., and then celebrated a 61-0 win over the visitors.
Three major University teams have made an informal agreement to limit the number of non-USA-eligible players they use in any given game.
New varsity team Life University banked three wins last weekend, playing Atlanta-area DI and DII teams in a round robin, shortened match format.
First up was Georgia Tech, which provided the toughest competition. Two tries from Deshel Ferguson, and one apiece from N’Keiah Butler and Argentina’s Karen Faget, helped the Running Eagles to a 22-10 win.
Life University's new women's undergraduate rugby team rebounded from a loss to Quinnipiac to beat Middle Tennessee State University 71-7 Saturday in their first victory of their first season.
On a very hot day the Running Eagles lasted longer and scored 13 tries, with No. 8 Nicole Syasko and wing Deshel Ferguson scoring seven between them.
Marietta, Ga. - Life University has announced that their Rugby Head Coach, Dan Payne, has been promoted to Assistant Athletics Director.
