Head Coach Josh Macy has announced the 19 players that will comprise the post-season sevens roster for men's rugby.
Every player from the team that won the Las Vegas Invitational in early March was named to the team, along with some interesting additions, including Wesley Parker, who will return from a UCL tear suffered in March to make a post-season run. He'll be joined by Lorenzo Thomas, who will be working towards his first sevens appearance for the Lions. Younger prospects include Joshua Wells, Patrick McLeroy, and Nick Taylor.
Lindenwood has already qualified for the Penn Mutual Collegiate Rugby Championship (CRC 7's) in Chester, Pennsylvania June 3-4 and the Lions have applied for an at-large bid to the USA Rugby Collegiate Sevens Championship in Glendale, Colorado May 19-21. Last season, Lindenwood essentially finished fifth overall by winning the Plate title at the 2016 event in Cary, North Carolina.
