GRR: Lindenwood
Lindenwood University (St. Charles, Mo.) rebounded from a somewhat humbling loss to Central Washington University a week ago with two victories on a trip to Colorado.
The Lions defeated the University of Colorado 84-0 on Thursday, and the United States Air Force Academy 53-7 on Saturday.
In one of the higher-ranked clashes of the early part of this spring DI college season, Central Washington defeated Lindenwood 21-3 19-3 in St. Charles, Mo. Saturday night.
Central Washington opens up its inter-collegiate 15s schedule Thursday with a game at Lindenwood-Belleville, and will follow that up with a face-off with Lindenwood St. Charles on Saturday night.
