Spring Season Edges Closer
West Point, NY - With the kick off of the 2012 Season just two weeks away, where we will play host to The New York Athletic Club in a preseason scrimmage 11 February, the team has been putting in a lot of hardwork with a few 05:30 fitness sessions and late night training to be prepared for a tough spring schedule. The NYAC is a perennial power in the Men's Super League, they have won 3 National Championships and regularly finish as the top seed in their conference. The match will be a great test for the team, with the last meeting between the two finishing in a 17-17 draw. We will follow up with a trip to The University of Arizona and Arizona State over President's Day Weekend, a great opportunity to face some out of conference opponents before we take on the University of Delaware at the Anderson Rugby Complex and Warrior field 3 March.
