Cal won the West Coast Collegiate 7s tournament hosted by Cal Poly Saturday, with the Bears' two sides going a combined 6-1.
The more experienced Cal side, playing as Cal while the younger team played as Bears, made the final against Saint Mary's, winning the game 31-14 thanks in large part to three tries in the final five minutes.
The only loss for the Bears was to those same Saint Mary's Gaels, a 24-14 loss in the semifinal.
Cal and the Gaels then went head-to-head in the Cup Final. In a gritty first half, the two teams traded tries over the seven minutes, with Cal pulling ahead 14-7 at the intermission. Saint Mary's closed it to 14-14 early in the second half but then Cal ran in tries from Alex Aguero, Max Clark, and Caleb Tomasin to put the game away.
Aguero and Oliver Newall were the top try-scorers for Cal; Aguero was named tournament MVP.
