GRR: Lindenwood
It really was a new-look Lindenwood that took on Northern Iowa in a DI non-conference match today, and the Lady Lions controlled the match from start to end, writing a 132-0 victory into the books. The Missouri team then added a 55-0 shutout in the B side match.
Lindenwood University released an intimidating team photo yesterday. Sixty-one players, all clad in Lady Lions kit, stretched across the screen in three rows.
The Lindenwood University men’s rugby program has a strong freshman class coming in, highlighted by Iowa 7s sensation Deion Mikesell and Union (Tulsa, OKla.) lead Malon Al-Jiboori.
While Penn State celebrates arguably the most successful month that any college team has ever experienced, the teams in its wake are brainstorming paths to similar heights. Lindenwood is in the midst of an aggressive overhaul, one that began with first-year head coach Billy Nicholas, continued with a dedicated group of players, and is being realized through 7s.
Life University laid down an impressive marker in winning their DIA semifinal over Lindenwood University 43-14.
In a very physical and sometimes chippy game, Life dominated field position and scoring in the first half. The Lions roared back in the second half to come within two tries, but Life put the dagger in late to win it.
