GRR: Mount St. Mary's
The Battle for the Castle Bowl Game at the CRAA Fall Classic might well be the rightest game of the day.
In a clash of two D1A Rugby East teams moving up the ladder, Mary Washington defeated Mount St. Mary's 39-20.
Well it was pretty dramatic in Rugby East action Saturday with two nailbiters producing two historic results.
St. Bonaventure recorded their first ever win over the modern era over West Point, and Mount St. Mary's recorded their first ever win over Kutztown.
While we know that 7s and 15s are not the same and success in 7s does not necessarily translate to similar success in 15s ... but rugby is rugby and, as Mount St. Mary's is showing, confidence is confidence.
Did Mount St. Mary's finally put to bed the idea that you have to play 7s for months to be successful?
