QUOTING HEAD COACH TODD THORNLEY:
"The opportunity to take on the defending National Champs in our own backyard is something we have been looking forward to over the past two weeks. Army's current record and recent history speaks for themselves, they are tremendously well coached and will pose a number of problems for us. We have to show growth in the performance of our overall game model to have a chance of getting the desired result over this powerhouse program. It should be a great spectacle of College Rugby and we are very honored to host an institution like Army West Point this coming Wednesday."
