In its second season, the Mount took a rebuilding team with over 20 freshmen and closely missed the playoffs. In 2016, the Mount attended the Collegiate Rugby Championship (CRC) 7s tournament and placed second overall in the Philadelphia division. The following year, the Mount won the Philadelphia division and qualified for the DI bracket in 2018.
Mount rugby also prides itself in community service, having volunteered at children's homes, children's hospitals, and locally with organizations such as The American Red Cross.
