GRR: UCLA
UCLA defeated Arizona State 32-12 in the opening weekend of the PAC Rugby Conference.
Utah also beat Arizona 39-31. Those were the two PAC Conference games this week.
In a wild non-conference game in Southern California, #46 San Diego State defeated #17 UCLA 42-41 Saturday.
It was a back-and-forth game in warm conditions at the UCLA campus, with the lead changing 11 times helped by an adventurous approach from both teams and plenty of defensive miscues.
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.
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.
The University of Utah made a huge statement Saturday with a 38-0 shutout of UCLA in Los Angeles Saturday in the weekend's on PAC Rugby Conference game.
The Utes were strong up front and with Danny Christensen leading the offense from scrumhalf and with Tonata Lauti causing problems all day long, UCLA was summarily humbled by the result.
