The Lindenwood Women's Rugby team (6-3, 2-3 NIRA) closed out the regular season with a 39-10 home victory over the Davenport University Panthers at the Lindenwood Track on Saturday morning. Lola Unga led the Lions with two tries, helping Lindenwood secure their sixth win of the season, while the defense limited the Panthers to just one try in each half.

Madison Cerda opened the scoring in the 11th minute, finding the try zone for the first time this season to give the Lions an early 5-0 lead. However, Davenport responded later in the half with a try and sent the teams into the break tied at five.

In the second half, Unga gave the Lions a 10-5 lead with a try in the 53rd minute. Seven minutes later, Kanani Watts added her sixth try of the season, with Lille Merlow made the kick to extend the Lindenwood lead to 17-5. Ava Reuter scored her team-leading 10th try of the season in the 65th minute to make it 22-5, but Davenport answered with a try to cut the deficit to 22-10.

The Lions responded after the Panther try as Unga, Isa Bouwens, and Lydia Szabo each scored tries in the 74th, 78th, and 80th minutes, respectively. Joselin Roque Lopez added a conversion following Bouwens' try to help Lindenwood secure the 39-10 victory.

The Lions finish the 2026 fall season with a 6-3 overall record and will return to action in the spring for their sevens season.
