GRR: Navy
The Rugby East is going down to the wire, just like everyone wanted.
With Navy's win over Army, there is still a chance for St. Bonaventure to sit atop the heap. It's a little complicated, but here's how it goes:
The US Naval Academy defeated the US Military Academy 27-14 Saturday to improve to 8-0 in the Rugby East and 10-0 overall, beating their heated rivals for the first time since 2019.
Navy remains undefeated and takes over 1st place in the Rugby East after the Midshipmen defeated Kutztown 46-16 Saturday.
With Army playing a non-conference game (a 53-8 defeat of Air Force), Navy got a chance to vault to 7-0, with West Point at 6-0.
Navy defeated Notre Dame College 36-21 Saturday at NDC, moving to 5-0 in the Rugby East and putting the Midshipmen in position to win the conference.
“We came here a few yers ago and scraped by; It’s one of the hardest places to come and play,” said Navy Head Coach Gavin Hickie.
All eyes are on NIRA's D1 with the two undefeated teams facing off in Cambridge, MA.
