GRR: Mount St. Mary's
Life University survived a bit of a scare Saturday at Mount St. Mary's, with the Running Eagles scoring late to take home a 20-19 victory.
And yes it was a loss for MSM, but still a very good outing by The Mount and more notice that the Rugby East is closing up.
Mount St. Mary's is looking to make a surge into the upper echelon of the Rugby East and D1A, and they have an impressive, but young, team with which to do it.
We’ve got a rundown of the results from Week 1 in the Rugby East.
Here are the results (home team listed second, GRR rankings included):
Mary Washington (D1A #14) 17 Army (D1A #7) 27

Penn State (D1A #18) 22 Mount St. Mary’s (D1A #15) 26

The NCAA D1 teams kick off their NIRA league seasons this coming weekend and we’re taking a look at it.
