ARC and San Jose State will meet up in the final of the NorCal D1AA conference next week after both scored over 70 in their semifinals Saturday.

ARC got two tries from Trevaun Robinson, two tries from Jonathan Nawasa, and seven more on top of that, with nine converted for a 75-3 win.

Head Coach Zach Swithenbank will be happier, perhaps, with holding Chicago State to zero tries.

Up front, Mone Lupeituu got the start at prop and was relentless. He, like everyone else, battled the heat and worked hard. Robinson was a beast again on both sides of the ball.

Scrumhalf Dylan Alexander ran the attack nicely and made good decisions, while in the backs Julian Niulala and Haydn Williams were excellent, each scoring a try.

"I’m proud of this group, and I’m excited to see how we respond this week as we prepare for San Jose State," said Swithcnebank. "The opportunity in front of us is big, and we will be ready."

SJSU did give up five tries, but they scored 11 to win 75-29.

The Spartans have seen plenty of attacking flare from the likes of center RJ Anderson and wing Liam Young.

When defenses aren't attentive scrumhalf Miguel Galan is liable to snipe through. Anderson and Young, along with Nate Vera and Kevin Hernandez, led the try-scorers. Galan linked well with flyhalf Ryan Tang to get that attack firing.

"We had some great effort around the park from the whole team," said SJSU Head Coach Nick Schlobohm. "The same mentality will lead us to achieve a different result against ARC."
