Life Women Impress in DI 7s Championships
Life University looked dominant Friday and Saturday, winning all three pool games and scoring 107 to the opposition’s five points in the USA Rugby Women’s DI College 7s Championships.
Also going undefeated were Penn State and Lindenwood, but it was Life that seemed to explode onto the pitch at Wakemed Soccer Park in Cary, NC.
Why Life Won
Fans of Saint Mary’s will happily point out that on Saturday, the Gaels won pretty much every stat, except the score; and they might point out that Life didn’t really break the Saint Mary’s line; and Life University might just say “yep, that’s right.”
Life Wins DIA Title
Playing in their fourth straight USA Rugby D1A National Championship match, the Life U Men's Rugby team put on a gutsy performance to win 24-20 over Saint Mary's College Saturday in Moraga, Calif.
DIA Final - Our Take
Trivia question: Of the five DIA finals held, how many were decided by more than a try?
Answer: One.
That’s right, one. And that one, Saint Mary’s 21 Life 6 in 2014, was close until the very end when the Gaels scored a try at the death.
DIA Semis - Life and Saint Mary's, Again
Life University and Saint Mary’s will meet each other once more for the DIA championship, marking the fourth year in a row that these two schools will meet for the top prize in college rugby.
Life rode a superb defensive performance to a 41-7 victory over Lindenwood.
