GRR: Life University
So much can be deceiving in little things like a game score, and certainly that is the case in Lindenwood’s 27-16 defeat of Life in Marietta.
Don’t get us wrong, it’s a big win for the Lions perhaps made all the more important because Lindenwood had been training indoors much of the previous couple of weeks because of heavy snow, while Life had already gotten a game in.
National Collegiate Rugby is down to the semifinals for their Women's D1 and Small-College playoffs.
Life University's tour of California ended with a loss to the Life West men's club and, on Monday night, a last-second victory for Saint Mary's.
Davenport and Life battled to a very tight Mid-South opener over the weekend, and while Life won, it was not a sure thing.
Tries from Karch Hoffman and Orrin Bizer staked Life to a 17-7 lead in the first half (Bradley Crane added a penalty and converted both tries). Davenport's try was a brilliantly executed punishment of a turnover.
Life University is in the NCR Women's playoffs, and that might turn heads a bit, but there's a method in the madness.
