GRR: Air Force
The Rocky Mountain men’s D1A conference has officially delayed any rugby until the fall.
The conference, which includes Colorado, Colorado State, Utah Valley, Utah State, New Mexico, and Wyoming will look at what they can do in the spring. However, playing in the early spring is difficult for those schools because it can snow well into March, sometimes later.
The US Service Academies may possibly play in a series of games this fall.
Kutztown University dominated Air Force 43-0 to win the D1A Open 7s Qualifier in Las Vegas Saturday to book at spot in the D1A Collegiate 7s Championships to be held later this spring.
West Point defeated Air Force 39-0 Friday afternoon in Colorado Springs, Colo.
"The win was good and the shutout was great," said head coach Matt Sherman. "Just being able to play in tough conditions, battling in some pretty cold temperatures, was awesome."
Army visits Air Force Friday in the second leg of the three-game Commander-in-Chief Trophy series between the three service academies, and it's a game about momentum for both.
