Friday Night Clash for Army, Penn State
Two 3-0 teams face off tonight in the Rugby East, with Penn State hosting Army at University Park.
Both teams come in with new head coaches - although at least Matt Sherman has been on the job for some weeks at West Point; Penn State’s new guy, Blake Burdette, has been in town only since Monday.
Rugby East Latest - The Divide Widens

Penn State keeps close to West Point with a huge win over West Virginia, while the Kutztown Golden Bears opened their conference account with a win, and Iona won also to move to 2-1.

Big Win, New Coach, PSU Building
Penn State’s win over Wheeling Jesuit may well have put the rest of Rugby East on notice.
After losing to AIC in a non-conference game and then beating St. Bonaventure, but not by much, PSU’s win over the Cardinals might well be an indication that the Nittany Lions are sharpening their claws.
Kutztown Takes Care of Delaware
Kutztown University brought the University of Delaware team down to earth Saturday, beating the resurgent Blue Hens 77-21.
