2021 Fall Men Portal
Over the summer the players did a great job recruiting into the fall season. More upperclassmen joined the team than in any previous year which is a testament to the commitment of the team and the excitement of the sport. The class of 2025 is adding into the mix with a number of players who will quickly be competing for starting positions going into the season! The players are ready and energized! We have multiple opponents wanting matches, but the challenge will be sufficient supervision for coverage especially for weekends where the matches have to be at different venues.
The Zoomies hosted the USAF 7s Team for the annual scrimmage as part of the USAF team’s preparation for the Rugbytown 7s and Armed Forces 7s Championship in Denver. The aggressive contact at the beginning of the season for the Zoomies provided a great competitive environment to jump start excitement for the fall season. The post-match social gave the players time to hear from officers and enlisted players from the USAF team about professional careers and rugby after the Academy. Playing against grads is always a highlight and learning firsthand from players with experience in the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) was definitely motivational.
The Vice-Commandant, Col Clarence Lukes ’92, made it out to one of the practices. He jumped right in with the players and ran with them the entire practice. Having that level of support from the Commandant’s office is an excellent change!
Although the Fall ended with a loss, the match results did not fully reflect how close it was. See here for 2021 Fall summary by Jeff Burrows
Ended up ranked 25th in the Nation with fully supported programs at Army rated #3 and Navy #8 [[1]]
