GRR: UCLA
The month of April is around the corner and that means playoff time in college rugby, including the Varsity Cup.
Tomorrow, University of Washington (North #2), Chico State (West #2), UC Berkeley (West #3), UCSD (South #1), UCLA (South #2), Washington State (North #1), Arizona State (South #3), and UC Davis (West #1) will be competing in the Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference playoffs and a place in the national Women's DI Spring Quarterfinals.
UCLA edged Utah 36-34 Saturday to move into 1st in the PAC Rugby Conference - temporarily - and at least ensuring they finish 2nd.
BERKELEY, Calif. (Cal Rugby plus additional notes) – A depleted Cal lineup continued to play valiantly, if not flawlessly, Saturday on Witter Rugby Field, beating UCLA, 37-3, to claim a share of the top spot in the PAC Rugby Conference.
Utah and UCLA both won in PAC Rugby Conference action Saturday, but it's the Utes now along atop the standings.
UCLA had all sorts of challenges with a tough-minded Arizona team. The Wildcats may be winless, but they battled. UCLA went up 10-0, but Arizona stormed back to get within three at 15-12. UCLA slotted a late penalty to seal it 18-12.
