GRR: University of Oregon
It was just a point too short but the University of Oregon can still walk away with some positive feelings.
Despite the fact that three teams had to bow out due to COVID issues, the college bracket of the Dennis Storer Classic went off nicely and Cal was, once again, crowned as champion.
Cal looked quite well drilled as the Bears went 3-0 on the weekend, beating UC Santa Cruz and Cal Poly on Saturday and UCLA on Sunday, scoring 100 points over three games and allowing only 11.
College action is mostly about tournaments this week as the winter-spring season kicks off in earnest.
The idea that college rugby conferences should follow college sports conferences in other sports isn't new, nor should it be followed universally, but it does have merit in specific areas.
The University of Oregon controlled the tempo and field position and put a stranglehold on Western Washington to win the Northeast Collegiate Rugby Conference championship game 31-3 Saturday.
