GRR: Life University
The seedings for the Women's D1 Elite playoffs this fall aren't exactly set, but we have a pretty good idea how they will go.
Lindenwood made it two tournament titles in two as the Lions women defeated Life University 19-7 to win the May Madness Women’s Premier championship.
Undisputed national champions, Lindenwood went 6-0 in Atlanta, outscoring opponents 211-7, and then 4-0 in New Orleans, outscoring opponents 117-7.
Sometimes tournaments and events get a little help from the rugby gods, and it seemed that way Sunday at the R7CC.
It was a tough year for Lindenwood Head Coach Billy Nicholas.
A disturbingly ferocious bout of COVID saw Nicholas, younger and healthier than the vast majority of serious victims of the pandemic, in intensive care and with family, friends, and players concerned he might not recover.
