FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – Army West Point men's rugby begins a three-match span on the road for another Rugby East conference match, facing Mary Washington at 11:00 a.m. this Saturday.
Coming off a win in their last match against Southern Virginia, Army improved to a 3-1 record on the season and 1-1 in Rugby East Conference matches.
"We've been working hard to continue our improvement overall and rate of improvement daily. I've been pleased with the team's efforts to do so, and we will aim to execute those improvements against a dangerous Mary Washington side for which we'll need to be at our best to earn a victory on the road," said head coach Matt Sherman.

The Black Knights had two dominant wins to start their season before suffering a loss to Life University in their third match. In their previous matchup last Saturday, Army found another dominant performance against South Virginia, winning 51-25. Army never trailed during the match and John Benson shined with three early tries in the opening 40 minutes, helping the Black Knights to a 34-15 lead heading into the half. Army would close out the fixture with tries from Jordan Thompson, Richard Corbett III and Phil Roll after halftime.
Over the program's three previous matchups against Mary Washington, Army has won each affair, including a second half comeback to win 27-17 on September 14 last season.
Saturday's match will be Mary Washington's third match this season. They enter the weekend with an 0-2 record, suffering a 65-3 road loss against Navy and a 33-20 loss at home against Mount St. Mary's (MD).
After a week off next week, the Black Knights will play their next two games on the road on October 25 at Mount St. Mary's (MD) and on October 31 at Air Force. Army will then return home on November 7 when they take on Penn State.
