College Men
Santa Clara University is hosting the Jesuit Cup 7s tournament this weekend, with six Jesuit colleges from around the USA participating.
Upset? What upset?
Sacramento State might have been the #2 team out if the Pacific Western Conference, and they might have been playing the #1 team out of the Gold Coast, but the Sacramento State players and coaches did not think it was an upset to beat the 49ers and make the DIAA quarterfinals. Not by a long shot.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Think Buster Douglas stepping into the ring to take on Mike Tyson. Or consider the United States Olympic Hockey team skating onto the ice at Lake Placid to face the Soviet Union’s Olympic squad. In the history of athletics, the battle of the underdog against the behemoth has captivated the minds of fans from all across the world for centuries.
Could this be the year that it all gets shaken up?
You wonder. Here in the Varsity Cup, the same four teams had been in the semifinals for the last three years. That's changed this year as Arkansas State upended Navy to get to the top four. Now, could the run of three-straight BYU v Cal finals be stopped?
It could be.
What to do about the DIA first-round game that was snowed out has apparently been straightened out.
