United Kingdom Tour Begins at Oxford

March 10, 2019 | Men's Rugby

OXFORD, ENGLAND, UK - The Army West Point men's rugby team hit the field Sunday for the first of its three matches in the United Kingdom. The Black Knights tied Oxford University 22-22.

"Tight contest, really pleased with our performance," said head coach Matt Sherman. "I think we may not have had it right in the beginning, but that's why we came here to get tested against good teams, but we got it right as the game went on and found a way to get some points and make it a real contest."
