West Point sits atop the Rugby East after the Black Knights shut out West Virginia for their second straight conference win.

Army ran out several debutants for this game, but it was veterans such as Jake Lachina, Luke Heun, Nathan Williams, Alec Smith, Adam Szott, and Jareth Long-Garrett who scored tries. Heun scored two. Sophomore and A-side debutant Rob Niscior also touched down, as did flyhalf Jon Kim, who added two conversions, while scrumhalf John Royston, in his first start of the season, kicked five plus a penalty goal.

Iona shut out Delaware 33-0 (more details here) to move to 1-1. Meanwhile, Wheeling Jesuit slammed St. Bonaventure 60-15 to move to 1-0.
