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.
Iona College, the #48 team in the Goff Rugby Report gal DI rankings, defeated #1 Army 43-26 Saturday in New Rochelle, NY.
Kutztown University held off a tough Iona College team 33-24 Sunday in Rugby East action to keep pace with undefeated Army.
In a very chippy game, Iona did well to kick for field position and pressure Kutztown defensively.
WEST POINT, NY – West Point men's rugby player David Huff was named Army Athletic Association Athlete of the Week for his two-try performance in Army's 46-36 defeat of Penn State this past weekend.
Huff leads the team with 18 tries since the West Point rugby team started varsity operations in the fall of 2014.
Iona's 55-0 shutout of West Virginia Sunday puts the Gaels in a somewhat surprising 2nd place in the always-tough Rugby East.
There was only one game in the Rugby East Saturday, with Kutztown University moving to 2-0 with a 24-5 defeat of St. Bonavanture.
