GRR: Life University
Davenport and Life battled to a very tight Mid-South opener over the weekend, and while Life won, it was not a sure thing.
Tries from Karch Hoffman and Orrin Bizer staked Life to a 17-7 lead in the first half (Bradley Crane added a penalty and converted both tries). Davenport's try was a brilliantly executed punishment of a turnover.
Life University is in the NCR Women's playoffs, and that might turn heads a bit, but there's a method in the madness.
The Women's Club 7s Championships is a relatively small tournament—only 14 teams—but it promises to be highly competitive as the event gets set for Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila this weekend.
