April 09, 2016 | Men's Rugby

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Senior Andrew Borer led the charge offensively with 30 points, as the Army West Point men's rugby team collected a 55-10 victory over No. 20 Oklahoma in the opening round of the Penn Mutual Varsity Cup on Saturday afternoon at the Anderson Rugby Complex.

Army improves to 9-4 on the year, while Oklahoma drops to 13-4.

Borer scored the game's first 13 points in the opening 10 minutes, with a penalty kick in the fifth minute, and tries in the seventh and 10th minutes, respectively.

Freshman Torran Raby touched down in the 18th minute to boost the Black Knight lead to 18-0 before senior Logan Weiland added Army's fourth consecutive try seconds before the halftime whistle to give the hosts a 23-0 advantage at the break.

As he did in the first half, Borer began the second period with three straight scores, including a penalty kick, a try and a conversion, making the score 33-0 by the 47th minute.

Senior Joseph Dlugosch added the first of his two tries on the afternoon in the 52nd minute to extend Army's margin to 38 points. Borer drilled the ensuing conversion before tallying another conversion after a try from sophomore Mitchell Sanderson in the 57th minute.

With Army leading 47-0, Oklahoma found its way onto the scoreboard after a penalty kick off the foot of Vincent Fairbairn in the 62nd minute.

Dlugosch converted another try for the Black Knights and Donovan Ronan and Fairbairn scored on a try and a conversion in the 79th and 80th minutes, respectively, for the Sooners.

Army is back in action on Saturday, April 16 in the Penn Mutual Varsity Cup quarterfinals. The Black Knights will host the winner of California and Texas in the quarterfinals.
