Rugby East Conference News
The Rugby East conference title may well be decided this coming weekend.
Both Life University and the US Naval Academy are 4-0, and they play each other in Annapolis on Saturday.
These are teams that have been winning, and in fact winning well, for the most part. Not that it's been perfect.
The Battle for New York State is back on this weekend as St. Bonaventure faces Army Friday night at West Point.
Yes this is a game between the top two college rugby programs in the Empire State, but it’s also a game that carries some significance for the teams in terms of their respective playoff prospects.
Navy continued their winning ways with a 40-11 defeat of Walsh University Saturday in Rugby East action.
As has been their script throughout the fall, Navy absorbed some pressure and battled through some difficult times before opening up the spigot in the final quarter. The game overall was much closer than the final score suggests.
Navy defeated Army 32-5 in Rugby East action Saturday.
This storied sports rivalry, and a storied rugby rivalry, came to a head Saturday at the Prusmack Rugby Complex in front of a loud and boisterous crowd. Certainly favored, Navy put in what was probably their best performance.
Life University survived a bit of a scare Saturday at Mount St. Mary's, with the Running Eagles scoring late to take home a 20-19 victory.
And yes it was a loss for MSM, but still a very good outing by The Mount and more notice that the Rugby East is closing up.
