American International College got a late try from flyhalf Jihad Khabir to defeat Penn State 34-27 in an early-season clash between the two top college programs.
AIC took an early lead with a penalty kick from fullback Michele Magistrali, but Penn State scrumhalf Jimmy Ronan tied it up two minutes later.
American International College and Penn State kick off their seasons this weekend as they face off in a non-conference game.
The teams have decided to treat it like a regular game - no expanded sub rules or scrimmage rules - and just see who’s got what.
As mentioned, the USA’s Super Series roster includes more players seeking their first cap than those with senior test experience. Many veterans are concentrated in the forwards, specifically in the pack: Hope Rogers, Sarah Chobot, Katy Augustyn, Stacey Bridges (who locks and flanks), Laura Miller, and Molly Kinsella.
