GRR: West Point
This season for the West Point men’s team is a big one, as the Black Knights attempt to build on a strong showing in 2014-15 with a new coach, the loss of an inspirational leader, and new players.
WEST POINT, N.Y. (USMMA Release) – The Army West Point men's rugby program has hired Matt Sherman as Men's Rugby Coach, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Boo Corrigan announced today.
Army is the new DI ACRA 7s champion, unseating Norwich after a 22-7 title bout. It’s tempting to focus on the victories over the Vermont side, which had won 63-straight 7s games entering this weekend’s championship, but the spotlight needs to shine on the West Pointers themselves. The hosts dominated the field and played a commanding, smart campaign to the title.
The US Military Academy’s men’s rugby program’s season is done and it has been a successful one, overall.
Army won the Rugby East, earning a bye to the DIA quarterfinals, and completed the program’s resurgence from suspended club to varsity program.
Davenport University and Army are acquainted, as the two teams met in the DIA playoffs last year; and this year a place in the semifinals is at stake between the two teams.
