GRR: College Men
Mount St. Mary's produced their second straight solid result against well-regarded opponents, this time winning a Rugby East Conference clash with rivals Mary Washington 33-20.
It was a strong showing from Mount, who have a good rivalry with UMW but are a bit more experienced this year.
Life University kicked off their 2025-26 D1A season with a well-taken 35-7 defeat of Army West Point.
The win was also a nice precursor to Sunday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for their spanking new lockers rooms.
Life started the game with their kickoff going into touch on the full, giving Army a scrum at the center of the field.
In probably the highest,profile Men's D2 college game of the weekend, IUP rode a torrid second half to pull away from Grand Valley State 48-19.
While this was not a conference game for either team, it mattered in terms of how they might be seeded if these teams make the NCR D2 playoffs, which they are expected to do.
St. Bonaventure pulled out a tough win over Queens in Charlotte, NC Saturday, scoring on the final play of the game to come back to win in this ARC conference match in NCR's D1.
Queens got an early try when captain and tighthead prop Roan Shawver ran hard onto a tips pass and was through for a long gallop.
The Adrian College men's program appears to have abandoned its fall season.
Adrian went through some serious problems last season after conflict between the players and the administration led to a number of players walking away from the team, and consequently being stricken from the team's roster.
