Lindenwood University of St. Charles, Mo. played their first 15s game of the 2016-17 season on Saturday, taking on rivals Lindenwood University of Belleville, Ill.
Lindenwood University's Men's Rugby team is looking for an assistant coach.
The job entails working with Head Coach Josh Macy in all activities related to the team, including relevent eligibility paperwork and vetting. This is a paid position.
Mickey Bateman was the MVP of the 2015 USA Rugby College 7s National Championships, and around that same time, Sam Chapman was suiting up for his high school team, the Kansas City Junior Blues.
The day Lindenwood arrived in Bath for the Red Bull World Uni 7s, Head Coach Josh Macy had been on the job for a week.
Taking your new team to a major tournament may not be the easiest way to start the job, but it all turned out quite nicely, as the Lions finished 3rd in the tournament, losing only to the two teams that finished 1st and 2nd.
Lindenwood University finished an impressive 3rd in the Red Bull World Uni 7s finals Saturday in Bath, England.
The hosts, Bath University, won for the second year in a row. Lindenwood opened up against Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour from France, and won that game 29-12. They then took on Bath, and played the defending champs tough, but lost 27-19.
