The RugbyNorCal Premier Varsity league wrapped up its regular season with three games, all competitive.
Marin improved to 2-4 with a 26-13 victory over Motherlode. And while Motherlode was winless this season, they didn't shy away from playing any of their opponents and pitched-up every time.
People like to call the CRC 7s tournament CRCs (See-Are-Sees), plural, not the CRC, and while that used to be a bit weird when it was one tournament, these days it makes much more sense—eight tournaments, four for men, four for women, and almost 300 games played over the weekend make it about as plural as you can get.
Tempe won the Arizona D1 state title with a 34-17 defeat of Phoenix on Saturday night.
The game was very close early on and Tempe held a slim 12-10 lead at halftime. But paced by three tries from outside center Tu Pauga, Tempe pulled away in the second half.
In front of a vocal and, apparently, record crowd the USA women's 15s team dropped a 39-33 decision to Japan Saturday night on the campus of UCLA.
The Eagles will rue some key errors, especially in set piece, in this game.
