GRR: Women DI Elite
It's semifinal time in Women's D1A Rugby.
Lindenwood defeated Central Washington 41-15 Saturday in women’s D1A action in Ellensburg, Wash.
In a wild barnburner of a D1 Elite final, Life University somehow got by Lindenwood to win their first-ever Women's D1 Elite Championship.
These two teams had been in the final against each other five previous times—every final since the 2017-18 season (2020 was COVID-canceled), and Lindenwood has prevailed each time.
Lindenwood beat Central Washington and BYU beat Grand Canyon in the latest action in D1 Elite Women.
With the win, Lindenwood joins CWU and Life with two wins, but Lindenwood has no losses and has defeated both of those other two-win teams. BYU improved to 1-1.
Following the 50th Anniversary of the signing of Title IX, it seems appropriate to look at where we are in women’s collegiate rugby in the context of that landmark legislation.
