GRR: Navy
The US Naval Academy regained the Shea Cup with an impressive 28-0 shutout of Air Force Friday night at Annapolis.
The first leg of the three-game Commander-in-Chief Trophy kicks off Friday evening at the US Naval Academy as Navy hosts Air Force.
Last season the Naval Academy men’s team played roughly one game a month during the fall to stay sharp and keep tat competitive edge before the serious business of the spring - this year it’s a little different.
Wheeling Jesuit ran out to a 20-0 first half and held on to beat the US Naval Academy 25-19 in something of an upset Saturday.
WJU is ranked #29 by Goff Rugby Report, while Navy, which had been more active in 15s games in 2015, had moved up to #10.
Believe it or not, there is rugby being played this weekend outside of the city of Las Vegas (or Henderson) in Nevada, and perhaps one of the more intriguing weekends of rugby will be on the East Coast, when the US Naval Academy men take on Clemson on Saturday and Life University on Sunday.
