GRR: Lindenwood
Lindenwood University usually plays on artificial turf, and this weekend at Air Force they will play on grass, so for much of the last couple of weeks, the Lions have been practicing on a natural surface.
Colorado State travels to St. Charles, Mo. Saturday for the DIA quarterfinals clash with Lindenwood, and this is a game full of intrigue and interest.
Life University moved to 3-0 and all but clinched the Mid-South DIA Conference with an 18-15 nailbiter at Lindenwood.
Saturday will mark the third time that Davenport and Lindenwood have played each, and the DII Panthers have accounted for the previous two wins. But the Lady Lions are in their best position yet and will bring a revitalized squad to what is always an excellent match-up.
The Mid-South DIA college conference continued its string of very close games, with Lindenwood just getting past Davenport 20-16 Saturday in the Charles Labry Memorial match between the two rivals.
The teams were deadlocked 10-10 before two JP Eoff conversions put Davenport up 16-10 at halftime.
