GRR: May Madness 7s
National Collegiate Rugby's May Madness CRC tournament welcomed 110 teams over three days in New Orleans, but that's just the beginning of the numbers as what NCR also really needed to attract was nationwide fan interest.
Lindenwood made it two tournament titles in two as the Lions women defeated Life University 19-7 to win the May Madness Women’s Premier championship.
Undisputed national champions, Lindenwood went 6-0 in Atlanta, outscoring opponents 211-7, and then 4-0 in New Orleans, outscoring opponents 117-7.

There were four games decided by a try or less, but seven shutouts. Every team that shut out another made the quarterfinals.
