GRR: West Point
Army is the new DI ACRA 7s champion, unseating Norwich after a 22-7 title bout. It’s tempting to focus on the victories over the Vermont side, which had won 63-straight 7s games entering this weekend’s championship, but the spotlight needs to shine on the West Pointers themselves. The hosts dominated the field and played a commanding, smart campaign to the title.
The US Military Academy’s men’s rugby program’s season is done and it has been a successful one, overall.
Army won the Rugby East, earning a bye to the DIA quarterfinals, and completed the program’s resurgence from suspended club to varsity program.
Davenport University and Army are acquainted, as the two teams met in the DIA playoffs last year; and this year a place in the semifinals is at stake between the two teams.
WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Unlike many of his teammates who vacationed on the beaches of Puerto Rico, West Point rugby firstie Nicholas Satwicz spent his spring break volunteering with Medical Missions for Children (MMFC) in Rwanda.
Satwicz joined his father and mother, Paul and Nancy, as the group traveled to Kibagabaga Hospital.
A late surge ensured that St. Mary’s would win comfortably over Army Saturday in a windy, chilly non-conference game at West Point.
