Life University's Division 1 team defeated the Cincinnati Wolfhounds in the first round of playoffs today at home, 24-15. The undefeated Running Eagles scored the first try of the game and made a penalty kick, leading at the half, 10-3.
With seven minutes left in the game, Life was only ahead by 2 points when second-row forward Chance Doyle broke a tackle and ran in for the try. It was Doyle's second try of the game. Other Life scorers include Jamey Penca who scored one try and Antoine Blanchet who had 9 kicking points.
"It was a tough game," said Director of Life Rugby Dan Payne. "We made it harder on ourselves with poor decision-making. This was a very young team taking on a very seasoned team. At this stage, we are happy to move forward."
Life University continues to the Round of 16 at Columbia on Saturday, May 22.
