Huge Mid-South Test In Lindenwood At Life

Life University has seen its two Mid-South games this season result in a pair of victories by at least 60 points, and the Running Eagles are looking for more of the same as they host Lindenwood this Saturday in Marietta, Georgia.

Except it’s unlikely it will be exactly like that; Lindenwood has shown itself to be maybe a cut above.

“[Lindenwood is] pretty talented, as always,” Life head coach Colton Cariaga said. “They’ve got some firepower. They play hard. Certainly we want to do the same and building on the things we’ve been working on.”

Life punishes mistakes. That’s been clear in recent games. 

“But Lindenwood is good at that, too,” said Cariaga. “In terms of any team that can compete towards the top, they have to be able to capitalize on mistakes, and they have to be able to pressure teams into mistakes. Our coaching staff doesn’t have to clue the guys in to the fact we’ve got to minimize mistakes and work for everything we get.”

This could be the toughest test Life faces in conference play so far, and certainly one well-known Life alumnus thinks that's the case.

We asked USA No. 8 Cam Dolan to predict the outcome and he said Life would win by eight points.

Cariaga will make no such prediction. He just says, simply, “I like where we’re going.”
