GRR: West Point
Army shut out Air Force 42-0 Friday night to take the lead in the Commander-in-Chief Trophy series among the three military academies.
West Point's win capped off a remarkably successful fall, during which the Black Knights went 9-0 and won the Rugby East.
The Rugby East Conference comes down to this weekend, with West Point taking on Penn State.
Both teams are undefeated, with Army sitting at 5-0 and Penn State at 3-0. Army is coming off a 58-27 defeat of Notre Dame College that head coach Matt Sherman called one of his team's best performances to date.
The Army West Point men’s varsity rugby team is seeking a full time assistant coach at the United States Military Academy.
Responsibilities will include assisting and leading all aspects of the program, including but not limited to:
Coaching, Recruitment, Communications, Fundraising and Development, and
Operations, Management and Administration.
The US Military Academy officers, coaches, and players at West Point got a special visitor this past spring when New Zealand All Blacks Head Coach Steve Hansen and Mental Skills Coach Gilbert Enoka visited the rugby program and instructors.
Penn State and Army combined for 81 points in Saturday’s Varsity Cup Quarterfinal, and it was the Penn State Nittany Lions that emerged winners in something of a barnburner, 47-34.
