Split Decision versus Army!


The #1 ranked Navy Men beat Army for the second time this year. It was some long travel up to West Point and back. The men built up a solid lead in the first half and held off the Army team after two quick tries at the beginning of the second half.


The women dropped a hard fought battle versus the Army Women. The women battled through some adversity and less than ideal conditions at Segra field but ultimately dropped a close battle, 15-5.


The men are off until the D1A quarterfinal match on April 15th. The women are done with 15's for the spring and have turned their focus to sevens. They will be in action this weekend, April 8th, at the Emperor 7's in Princeton, NJ.


We also need to energize the NRAA Network to vote for the nations top men's and women's rugby players! Two Navy men's players included amongst the 2023 Scholz award nominees for the nations best collegiate men's player and one Navy women on the 2023 Sorenson Award nominee list nations best collegiate women's player!
