GRR: Lindenwood
Lindenwood and Mary Washington both ended up in Knoxville, Tenn. over the weekend to join the University of Tennessee in a three-game series.
While the main game was Lindenwood's A-side against UMW, there were other games, as well, giving over 120 college rugby players important game time.
Top-20 D1A teams Lindenwood and Mary Washington met at a neutral site in Knoxville Tenn. (note state abbreviation style) with the Lions coming away with a rain-soaked shutout victory.
On what was a torrentially rainy day the two sides looked to rely on their forwards to do a lot of the heavy lifting.
We at GRR pondered how to write a headline for this article.
Lindenwood University just cut 10 spots. We heard the news over the weekend and many people who heard it immediately assumed that rugby was one of those sports or assumed rugby was in danger. But rugby, for both men and women, is still going strong at Lindenwood.
Why?
Lindenwood came back to bet BYU 21-14 in what was a battle of a game in St. Charles, Mo. Friday.
Both teams played very solid rugby, executed well, and were up for it. In the end, Lindenwood’s powerful scrum produced two key scoring chances late in the game to win it.
The first two rounds in the new Midwest D1A Conference didn’t yield much in the way of drama, but we got it this past weekend.
Lindenwood and Davenport came into the game having both beaten Adrian and McKendree (those two meet this coming weekend) and ready for what has become a nicely heated rivalry match.
