GRR: Navy
Lindenwood took the top-of-the-rankings clash in DIA this week with a hard-nosed defensive effort as the #5 Lions edged the#4 Navy Midshipmen 12-7.
Navy put its hand up for some rankings love with an impressive 38-12 defeat of Penn State this weekend.
Navy has beaten seven ranked DIA teams in a row, including two teams that have since done even better—Rugby East champions Kutztown, and Davenport, which has started very well this fall.
The US Naval Academy kicked off the Commander-in-Chief series with a dominating 81-5 defeat of Air Force at the Prusmack Rugby Complex in Annapolis Saturday.
The game was also the 7th Annual Lt. Col. Shea Cup.
The US Naval Academy and Davenport opened up the Mid-South Conference season with Davenport traveling to Annapolis this weekend.
The Mid-South plays most of its season in the spring, but with the snows slow to melt in Michigan, Davenport likes to log a couple of league games in the fall, and this was one of them.
Navy won three games this weekend, beating Iona, James Madison, and James Madison's 2nds in a pretty successful weekend for the Midshipment.
