GRR: Lindenwood
The word challenge gets thrown around quite a bit in rugby circles, especially when a coach is looking for a difficult opponent to test his players.
One of the biggest problems for good teams at any level is to find games that aren’t blowouts. Lindenwood Head Coach JD Stephenson certainly has been looking for those games, and searched far afield to find them.
Davenport defeated Lindenwood 7-3 Saturday in a non-conference game that finished off a difficult fall for Lindenwood.
Last weekend, Lindenwood rugby player Charles Labry was struck and killed by a car. The native of Beaune, France was a popular member of the team and the game this Saturday was played in his honor.
Lindenwood University made it three major men's clubs in a row as they beat the Glendale Raptors Saturday in St. Charles, Mo.
Three major University teams have made an informal agreement to limit the number of non-USA-eligible players they use in any given game.
The Lindenwood University women's team is in the mist of the change. The DI program is NOT moving to DII (contrary to a previous report) but has welcomed a new full-time coach – Billy Nicholas from the Bronx – who only accepted the position two weeks ago. The Missouri side has good infrastructure, however, and Director of Rugby JD Stephenson has been leading the transition.
