GRR: West Point
West Point swept today's action with rivals the US Naval Academy, with the men and women's teams both winning.
In what is usually a relatively close contest, the men's game ended up being more lopsided than usual. In a hotly-contested clash, Army put Navy under pressure early, and from a scrum hammered it up once and then a flat pass to newcomer Dominic Tianga put the flanker over.
Army at Navy men and women will both be streamed live, but at different locations on the web.

The US Service Academies may possibly play in a series of games this fall.
