GRR: Penn State
Penn State sits alone at the top of the Rugby East Conference after the Nittany Lions defeated Army 29-13 Saturday in a battle of two undefeated teams.
Wheeling Jesuit, Penn State, Kutztown, and Army are all still undefeated in the Rugby East after Penn State won two games this weekend and the other three won one each.
Maybe they'd like to fly under the radar, but they can't; word is rampant that Penn State is for real and could well be the best team in the Rugby East.
Kutztown University opened their Rugby East account with a fairly straightforward 95-8 win over West Virginia.
The Mountaineers are somewhat down this year so Kutztown was favored to win, but it was important for the Golden Bears to get their young players started on a winning note. The scoreline shows that there’s talent all through the lineup.
Penn State put down something of a marker Thursday with an impressive 32-10 defeat of Queens University in Canada.
Queens led early, scoring a try to answer Jimmy Ronin’s penalty to go ahead 5-3. But a lineout and maul led to Chris Burian’s try and Ronin’s conversion to put PSU up 10-3. Burian’s line break set up another Ronin penalty.
