Lindenwood Edges Davenport in Rivalry Game
Davenport and Lindenwood met up Saturday for the Labry Memorial Shield game between the two teams.
Toughness, Technique Put Life on Top
The Mid-South may be just three teams, but those teams are usually very close.

Mid-South Starts with Lindenwood at Life

Life University will visit Charlotte this coming weekend to take on Air Force and Navy coming off two games where the Running Eagles scored 195 points.
Head Coach Scott Lawrence is pleased with the opening of the 2016 portion of the season, and while those two blowouts were against well-regarded South Carolina and Clemson, Lawrence dismissed the significance.
