GRR: Kutztown
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.
Earlier than expected, the Mid-Atlantic (MARC) final four has been confirmed. Kutztown will play East Stroudsburg, and Bloomsburg will play Delaware in the semifinals. MARC will receive three representatives at the national fall Round of 32 (Nov. 14-15).
Kutztown University defeated West Point 39-26 Saturday at Kutztown, dropping Army to 4-2 in the Rugby East and putting Kutztown up to 5-0.
The game was intensely physical and very tight for most of the game, but a sterling effort from the Kutztown forwards saw the Bears survive.
