The Rugby East Conference is a premier collegiate rugby conference in the United States, which determines its champion based on regular-season records rather than a playoff. The conference consists of Army West Point, Life University, University of Mary Washington, Mount St. Mary's University, U.S. Naval Academy (Navy), Penn State University, and Southern Virginia University.
The US Naval Academy held off Army West Point in a typical tight, tense, and hard-hitting affair.
With the win Navy finished atop the Rugby East with a 5-0 conference record.
Navy beat Penn State 36-7 Saturday in Rugby East action in what was, as DOR Gavin Hickie put it, the first “real road game” for the Midshipmen.
With the win Navy is now 4-0 in the Rugby East.
Army West Point is right in the middle of the Rugby East conversation after a 32-7 defeat of Mary Washington on the road.
Mount St. Mary's produced their second straight solid result against well-regarded opponents, this time winning a Rugby East Conference clash with rivals Mary Washington 33-20.
It was a strong showing from Mount, who have a good rivalry with UMW but are a bit more experienced this year.
West Point Rugby is looking for an assistant coach.
The position is described as a Coordinator, Mens Rugby Ops, and Coaching. The position is not open for a visa-carrier, so this job would be an excellent chance for an American rugby coach looking to build their coaching career.
