On Saturday afternoon, the Army West Point men's rugby team fought to a 9-9 draw against Notre Dame College.
How it Happened
All points scored were penalty kicks for both sides. Senior Jonny Haley scored all nine Army points.
Seventeen minutes into the game, the Falcons took a 3-0 lead as they made their first penalty kick. The Black Knights came back to tie the score making it 3-3 with five minutes remaining in the first half.
The Black Knights would score their second penalty kick halfway through the second half, taking a 6-3 lead before scoring again just over six minutes later taking a 9-3 lead into the last ten minutes of the game.
The game came down to the wire as Notre Dame College would get the last two scores of the game, both coming with under seven minutes left. The Falcons managed to tie it 9-9 with a little over two minutes remaining and the game would conclude in a draw.
Reflecting on the game Senior Bill Boldt and Jonny Haley said:
"Frustrating result, we were unable to capitalize on key moments. The result isn't a representation of the ability of this team."
- Bill Boldt
"The boys stuck together until the very end. Our resiliency is a staple of this team. We are all disappointed by the result. It just shows that we have a lot of room to improve ahead of next week. We are all eager to get back to work. As always proud of the brothers' performance."
