GRR: PAC Rugby Conference
The PAC Rugby Conference finds out what’s what this weekend, with the 1-0 Utah Utes traveling to 3-0 Cal, and the 1-2 UCLA Bruins making the trek to Tucson to face 0-2 Arizona.
The Cal Bears came away from UCLA with what they needed Saturday, and that would be a PAC Conference victory, but with the final score being 18-12, it wasn’t perhaps what they’re used to - a slightly more comfortable cushion.
Arizona State scored four second-half tries, two by Alex Sandstrom, to defeated Arizona 34-15 Sunday in PAC Rugby Conference action.
The Sun Devils moved to 1-1 in conference play with the victory, a much-improved performance if giving up 100 against Cal last week, when Head Coach Gary Lane ran in the subs early.
Cal had all sorts of trouble shaking loose UCLA in Saturday's PAC Rugby Conference clash in Los Angeles, but eventually the Bears (ranked #5 by Goff Rugby Report) prevailed over the #37 Bruins 18-12.
BERKELEY – Cal racked up 16 tries Saturday in a 100-17 win over Arizona State on Witter Rugby Field.
Sione Sina and Harry Adolphus both had hat tricks as California (8-1, 2-0 PAC) took sole possession of first place in the PAC Rugby Conference.
