The Southeastern Collegiate Rugby Conference (SCRC) was started in 2010 to serve the needs of the collegiate rugby community and has been a consistent supporter of the sport for its member teams since inception. The SCRC has proven itself to be responsive to the shifting needs of its members and the collegiate rugby community on the southeastern United States.
Lindenwood Belleville defeated Tennessee 30-22 Friday in an early-fall run-out for both teams.
For the Lindenwood-Belleville Lynx, it was a very successful, if imperfect, step into DI rugby. The Lynx started as a varsity program last year, making the WIIL Conference final, and getting into the national quarterfinals. They only lost twice, to the two national DII finalists.
The Lindenwood-Belleville Lynx begin their second season of rugby and first in DI with a meeting of longtime DI power Tennessee Friday at Tennessee Rugby Park.
