"I can safely say that of all the places in the world that I could be, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere other than Lindenwood. Lindenwood has become my home away from home: it’s brought out the best version of me that no other college could and through that I’ve made memories that will last me a lifetime."

Amy Brice - Hometown: Noosa, Australia

The combination of academics with rugby is well organized and flexible so I can fully focus on my favorite thing --> rugby! -Jet Metz, Netherlands

Player Spotlight

"Coming to Lindenwood was the best decision I’ve ever made. I probably have the most LU pride on the team because I know from first hand experience that the tough, competitive trainings we put in daily will be always be worth building and continuing our Lion Dynasty. Off the field, I am able to excel academically as Lindenwood offers many majors and academic assistance. A piece of advice that gets me through tough trainings is “iron sharpens iron.” Our team has some of the best women’s collegiate rugby players, and daily trainings has definitely boosted my rugby skills and IQ."

Advice I’ll give you is don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, but remember the importance of your priorities, your purpose, and your why! -Aifili Tuitau, Washington

Player Spotlight

"My time at Lindenwood has been very rewarding. The trials I have faced (tearing my ACL, being very homesick, and constantly fighting for a position on the field) whilst being here truly tested my abilities to be a better athlete, student, and most importantly, a better person. no matter how low I felt, or how much I wanted to quit, I was blessed to be around people who saw potential in me, and lifted my spirits to keep pushing. Their examples would lead me to wanting to do the same for my peers, and community. Three rings later, I can honestly say that I would not trade my precious experience here for anything in the world. Advice: get comfortable being uncomfortable! Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."

Taina Tukuafu - Hometown: Kahuku, Hawaii

High Performance Tools

Student-athletes will reach peak performance with the use of film review and a GPS monitoring system. Through our GPS monitoring system, coaches can quickly modify trainings to meet daily/weekly training goals.

“Being apart of this team…it’s tough, but on the field it shows how hard we work. It’ll take you to your dark place, it will challenge you a lot, but it will also shape you into a better person.” - Irie Farley

When I first arrived I was not sure what I was getting myself into, but now am grateful as I have made sisters and friends for life. -Tanaka Kanyepi, Zimbabwe

Player Spotlight

"Attending Lindenwood has not only made me a better person, but has allowed me to be apart of something bigger than myself. I have matured and learned what being apart of a team is all about. This team has pushed me to be the best version of myself on and off the field. I have been so thankful to play for Lindenwood while I accomplish my academic goals. If I had one piece of advice i’d say to not take anything for granted and appreciate every second you have here at Lindenwood."
