Calif Conference Clash - Cal Poly v St. Mary's
St. Mary’s enters a torrid eight days Saturday with a key California Conference clash with GRR #43 Cal Poly, followed by games against #14 Utah and #1 BYU.
The Gaels lost to BYU 32-28 last week, and needed to learn from that game and to get hung up on it at the same time.
Time Runs Out on St. Mary's
It was a heartbreaking loss for St. Mary’s. After leading at halftime and battling their way back from a deficit, the Gaels didn’t quite have enough time to overhaul BYU Saturday.
The Cougars won 32-28, reversing the result between the two in Moraga a year ago. But St. Mary’s Head Coach Tim O’Brien had the game in perspective.
BYU Holds Off St. Mary's in Classic
BYU enjoyed a torrid opening to the second half of their clash with St. Mary’s and came away with a 32-28 victory between the two high-ranked college programs Saturday in Moraga, Calif.
Neither team backed away and it was a classic clash between the two - BYU using their size superiority to punish St. Mary’s tacklers, and the Gaels exploding for unexpected attacking moves.
Top-Ranked Clash as BYU Visits St. Mary's
Top teams face off Saturday #2 BYU visits #3 St. Mary’s in a clash of titans in Men’s College Rugby.
