With a 26-12 victory over California in the finals, the Lions repeated as champions at the 2018 USA Rugby College Sevens National Championships May 19 at Infinity Park in Glendale, Colorado. 

After most of the first half went by without any scoring, Lindenwood finally broke through in the fifth minute with a Deion Mikesell try, converted by Juan Pablo Aguirre.  A minute later, the lead doubled with a Chris Schoeman score and another Romero conversion.  The Golden Bears broke the shutout early in the second half to make it 14-7, but the Lions immediately countered when Nick Feakes dotted down for a 19-7 advantage.  California pulled back to within seven points in the 11^th minute, but that was as close as the Golden Bears would get.  Wesley White crossed the line in the 13^th minute and Feakes booted the conversion for the final margin, giving the Lions their second straight sevens title and third in the last four years.

Lindenwood advanced to the Cup Final with a 26-0 win over Grand Canyon.  Alex Augsburg, Schoeman, Feakes, and White accounted for the tries in the match while Romero added three conversions.  The knockout stage for the Lions began Saturday morning with a 22-0 shutout of Indiana.  Feakes scored the first try and added a conversion in the contest; Mikesell had two tries, and Augsburg one.

Lindenwood swept through pool play with three straight wins on Friday, all by shutout, beginning with a 57-0 victory over the University of Missouri.  White and Mikesell each scored twice, while Lorenzo Thomas, James Lillis, Feakes, Aguirre, and Michael de Waal added singles tries.  Feakes booted six conversions to lead all scorers with 17 points.  Game two was a 38-0 win over Utah.  Mikesell dotted down twice while Feakes, Augsburg, Schoeman, and White scored once each.  Feakes kicked three conversions and Nick Taylor booted one.  In the final pool game of the day, the Lions ran away from Arkansas for a 63-0 victory.  The Lindenwood offense accounted for 11 tries and four conversions in the contest. 

Overall, the Lions outscored their opponents 232-12 at the championship.  With the six wins, Lindenwood improved to 26-4 overall for the 2017-18 campaign.  The Lions conclude their season at the College Rugby Sevens Championships (CRC 7's) June 2-3 at Talen Energy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Last year, Lindenwood advanced to the Cup semifinals before being ousted by Life University.
