March 14, 2025 | Men's Rugby
BERKELEY, Calif. – Army West Point Men's Rugby heads to the West Coast to conclude its 2024-25 regular season, with fixtures at California Saturday and at Cal Poly the following Wednesday.
Both fixtures kick off at 4:00 p.m. ET / 1:00 p.m. PT. Saturday's match at Cal can be streamed on ESPN+.
The Black Knights improved to 10-1 across their 2024-25 campaign with a 24-19 win over Arizona. Army led by as much as 17 points, after a Dylan Liskey try four minutes into the second half. Army's cushion was enough to withstand a 12-0 run from Arizona the remainder of the fixture, and the Black Knights walked off the field as winners for the seventh consecutive match.
Howard Heller currently leads in the team in points with 66, by way of 21 conversions, five penalty kicks and five tries. Meanwhile, Benji Kemp's nine tries currently lead Army.
Coach's Corner
"We're really looking forward to the challenge ahead, one of the toughest opponents in collegiate rugby at the toughest place to win in collegiate rugby. This team thrives on challenges. and we're committed to rising to this one," said head coach Matt Sherman.
Cadets' Corner
"We're excited for the opportunity to compete against a top program like Cal. It will be a good test to match their physicality with attritional rugby, and if we play our brand of rugby we should come out of Cal with a win," said Chance Loudenback.
"We are all very excited for this business trip to California. The boys have been training extremely hard, learning from our lessons throughout the season, and are looking forward to a real test against a team like Cal," said Noah Sanchez.
"We've been practicing hard and are ready to go on the road this week against Cal. They are a tough opponent at home, and traveling across the country to play them is going to be a good test of our ability to win on the road," said Joey Knight.
