Kutztown University has been bumped up to #1 in Goff Rugby Report’s fall rankings thanks in large part to their 39-26 defeat of Army on Homecoming Weekend at Kutztown.
It was a watershed moment for the program - a crucial win in Rugby East, played in front of a big home crowd, and their first-ever win over West Point.
We have a new #1 for the second week in a row in the Goff Rugby Report Men's DI College Fall Rankings.

But there are more games on tap for the remainder of the weekend.
Asked to characterize Sean Hardiman’s game at scrumhalf for Iona in their victory over Army this past weekend, Iona Head Coach Bruce McLane was succinct - “he played the best game of his life.”
Good timing for Hardiman, as he did so against a formidable opponent. Hardiman himself said his day, and the team’s day, came down to a lot of self-belief.
