College 7s Tournament This Weekend
College 7s heats up a little bit this weekend with several qualifiers, or pre-qualifiers going on.

Lindenwood-Belleville Hosts DII 7s Qualifier
Lindenwood-Belleville hosts a 7s tournament this weekend, and it’s yet another first for a program that didn’t exist a year ago.
L-B made the national DII 15s playoffs, and now is looking at a berth at USA Rugby’s 7s DII nationals. They have an excellent shot, as Head Coach Pat Clifton has worked hard to get his Lynx game time, going to Florida, Tennessee, and Las Vegas to find it.
