A Look at DIAA Fall Playoffs
The DIAA Fall playoff picture is clearing a little bit as USA Rugby works on the brackets.
Here's how it looks to be shaking out:
Lessons, Harbingers in Davenport v L-B Result
Davenport University defeated Lindenwood-Belleville this past weekend 38-15 in a game that told us much about both teams.
Stern Test for Both Panthers and Lynx
Lindenwood-Belleville takes on another difficult DIA opponent in Davenport this week.
WJU Downs Lindenwood-Belleville
Wheeling Jesuit opened up the Tom Duffy era with a 30-14 defeat of Lindenwood-Belleville in a key non-conference game for both programs.
Lindenwood-Belleville, which had opened up its independent schedule with a win over Tennessee, looked fairly strong in the first half.
Lindenwood Belleville Downs Tennessee
Lindenwood Belleville defeated Tennessee 30-22 Friday in an early-fall run-out for both teams.
For the Lindenwood-Belleville Lynx, it was a very successful, if imperfect, step into DI rugby. The Lynx started as a varsity program last year, making the WIIL Conference final, and getting into the national quarterfinals. They only lost twice, to the two national DII finalists.
