GRR: Dartmouth
Dartmouth's win over Army has a lot of their supporters talking, but there's more to talk about in the Ivy League.
Dartmouth celebrated Homecoming Weekend with an upset defeat of West Point 21-10 Saturday in Hanover, NH.
Dartmouth was smart in making sure they got points from pressure, and with captain Mike Weir accurate in his kicking that all wasn't hard to do. Weird slotted two early penalty goals, and then added a drop goal to give the Big Green a 9-0 lead.
Before he was old enough for serve beer let alone drink it, Madison Hughes was on the American rugby radar.
Going to high school in England, he was tapped early as a USA star and helped the USA U17s, and then the U19s, and then the U20s, to some success.
Dartmouth is the best team in the men’s Ivy League rugby conference.
The Army West Point men's rugby team managed to get by a very tough Dartmouth side 29-23 on Sunday, logging a nice victory against one of the top DIAA teams in the nation.
Army was coming off a loss to Trinity, the Dublin University team that toured the East Coast, and this game offered a chance to rebound.
