GRR: Lindenwood
Lindenwood clinched their first ever Mid-South rugby title by beating Davenport 43-6 at home over the weekend.
The match was controlled by the Lions from the opening kickoff. Lindenwood scored seven tries by seven different players earning them the win and the needed bonus point to win the conference.
Lindenwood defeated Arkansas State 17-5 Saturday night in a defensive-minded Mid-South clash.
With the win Lindenwood improves to 4-0 in the conference.
Dominance from the Lions in the scrum, as well as consistent execution in the kicking game allowed, Lindenwood to win what turned out to be a game decided by stingy defense and consistent field territory.
Lindenwood put on a defensive showing to the tune of a 25-0 shutout of Arkansas State, scoring four tries and, with that, a bonus point in the Mid-South conference.
So much can be deceiving in little things like a game score, and certainly that is the case in Lindenwood’s 27-16 defeat of Life in Marietta.
Don’t get us wrong, it’s a big win for the Lions perhaps made all the more important because Lindenwood had been training indoors much of the previous couple of weeks because of heavy snow, while Life had already gotten a game in.
A week after Davenport pushed Life University to a one-point game, Lindenwood University traveled to Grand Rapids, Mich. to take on the Panthers.
