Northern California went an impressive 2-0 in the Boys Varsity Southwest Regional Cup Saturday in the first day of competition.
NorCal opened against Southern California - the team Goff Rugby Report had labeled as the favorite - and NorCal won 29-20. Then the Pelicans followed that up with a 52-3 defeat of Washington.
