Rugby East Conference News
WHEELING, WV - The West Point men's team clinched the Rugby East conference title with a 34-29 defeat of Wheeling Jesuit Saturday.
West Point can secure 1st in the Rugby Easy, and a potential date with Life University at the ACRC Bowl Weekend in Charlotte, NC, with a victory over Wheeling Jesuit.
Army is ranked #1 in the ACRC and #6 by Goff Rugby Report, while Wheeling Jesuit is ranked #20 among all DI programs by GRR.
Kutztown University bounced back from last week's loss to Army to defeat St. Bonavanture 72-17 Saturday in Rugby East Conference play.
With Army playing a non-conference game against Air Force (which they won), Kutztown jumps back into 1st place. But Army still has a game to play while the Golden Bears are done.
There’s no doubt that Collum Magee is a big part of the Army rugby success this season, as the flanker and co-captain continues to make big tackles and test defenses.
But Saturday was a special time for him, as he scored two tries, including the game-winner over Kutztown with time running out.
