Penn State Men’s Rugby opens up their new era with a game at Mount St. Mary’s and this is with new Head Coach Zac Mizell.
A star at Arkansas State, helping them to a D1A final in 2012, and later capped by the USA 7s team, Mizell has coached at Life, University of Texas, and, most recently, Adrian.
Many of the major college games this weekend were really scrimmages, but there were some straight results we want to bring you.
Navy beat Mount St. Mary's in a game that was way, way closer than the score makes it appear.
Former USA 15s and 7s Eagle Ryan Matyas has signed on to be Head Coach at San Diego State.
