WEST POINT, N.Y. – Scoring two tries in the second half to lead the fifth-ranked Army West Point men's rugby team to a 46-36 victory over eighth-ranked Penn State has earned yearling David Huff the title of Army Athletic Association Athlete of the Week. This is the first Athlete of the Week honor for Huff who has amassed a team-leading 18 tries since the group joined the Army Athletic Association in August of 2014.
In the 69th minute of action, with Penn State attempting to mount a comeback and the Army lead at just 10, Huff scored his first of the evening with a burst of speed down the far side of the field. He would find the try zone again in the 77th minute, dotting down to put the game out of reach for the Nittany Lions. The win was the fourth consecutive victory to open the season for the Black Knights, who now sit in sole possession of first place in the Rugby East. His 18 tries since the start of the 2014-15 season account for 11 percent of the team's total offense. Read More
