GRR: Life University
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.
The Women's Club 7s Championships is a relatively small tournament—only 14 teams—but it promises to be highly competitive as the event gets set for Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila this weekend.
Put on by the Washington Athletic Club of Seattle, the USA Club 7s Championships may well see the team sponsored by the hosts take home the Signes Cup.
Lindenwood defeated Life 24-14 in the final of the Men’s CRC Monday afternoon, surprising many who expected Life’s high octane attack to get the better of the Lions.
But unleashing a physical, aggressive defensive strategy, Lindenwood took away Life’s ability to exploit space and got in the faces of the Running Eagles.
