Opening Scrimmage v. NYAC
West Point, NY - The West Point Men's Rugby Team will open up their spring season this Saturday 11 February when they play host to the New York Athletic Club. The match will be in a scrimmage format giving both teams plenty of time to test some combinations and get the younger players some match time before they begin league play in a few weeks. The scrimmage is going to be held in the Foley Indoor Athletic Complex at West Point, for safety reasons due to the size of the indoor space the match is unfortunately going to be closed to outside spectators. Both teams are very excited to get their seasons underway after some tough off season training the last few months.
