College Women
Lindenwood went 2-0 during its second East Coast double-header, this time traveling farther south for matches against Virginia Women’s Rugby (UVA) and North Carolina. The Lady Lions dominated both matches to the tune of 118-5, and were able to exercise their depth during the Friday/Sunday schedule.
BYU has acknowledged the women’s rugby team as an extramural sport. Why is that important? The answer lies in the complicated relationship between school and team.
Lots of great games are occuring in the women's DI college sphere this weekend, and here's a smattering of the ones worth following.
Like its DI counterpart, the Women’s DII College rankings that will be maintained for the rest of 2015 will only concern fall-based and split-season teams. Those programs playing league matches in both the fall and spring – as well as the fall champion – will carry over to the 2016 spring rankings.
So many great games have occurred since the first Women DI Fall rankings, and some big shifts were needed. There were a handful of cross-conference games that not only provided great competition but also nice contrast.
