GRR: Life University
Life University's women's team is set to compete in USA Rugby's women's DI in the spring, and they have also announced the recruitment of a new player in Texas-based Whitney Wilson.
For the newly forming varsity teams around the country, there’s something special about playing Eastern Illinois University, the first varsity women’s program in U.S. history. Last Saturday, Life University welcomed EIU to Marietta, Ga., and then celebrated a 61-0 win over the visitors.
Three major University teams have made an informal agreement to limit the number of non-USA-eligible players they use in any given game.
New varsity team Life University banked three wins last weekend, playing Atlanta-area DI and DII teams in a round robin, shortened match format.
First up was Georgia Tech, which provided the toughest competition. Two tries from Deshel Ferguson, and one apiece from N’Keiah Butler and Argentina’s Karen Faget, helped the Running Eagles to a 22-10 win.
