However, for the third week in a row, the Mounties rallied and fended off Cerritos, San Diego Mesa and El Camino.
On Saturday, El Camino scored the first 13 points, including a safety.
Mt. SAC, though, would score 28 unanswered points. and they held on for a 37-27 victory over their visitors from Torrance.

Bell also gained 21 yards on eight carries, including TD runs of 1 and 5 yards.
