Mens Rugby Soars Past Air Force
Glendale, CO - The West Point Men's Rugby team defeated Air Force by a score of 22-17 Friday Night in Colorado.
How it Happened
The match was a defensive battle between the two teams with neither side scoring more than 25 points. The Falcons opened up the scoring 15 minutes in, with a penalty kick to give them the 3-0 lead. That lead would be short-lived as sophomore Ciaran Murray scored his first of two tries just over three minutes later to put Army on top 5-3. The Black Knight's defense would hold Air Force to just those three points in the first half while going on to score two more tries of their own before the break.
