GRR: Arizona
Everyone loves a rivalry, and this week there's a good one on tap as Arizona State and Arizona face off at ASU in PAC Rugby Conference action.
The University of Arizona laid down something of a market Saturday with a convincing 47-8 defeat of UCLA in PAC Rugby Conference action.
For Arizona, the last couple of years have been a bit up and down as the Wildcats have developed a core of young players. Head Coach Sean Duffy said this game was an indication that the youngsters are starting to take over.
The PAC Rugby Conference 7s is set for Saturday in Tucson, and while four-time defending champs Cal have to be favored, there are other teams to watch out for.
PAC Rugby 7s Set for Tucson
St. Mary's opened up their two-date tour of Arizona with an impressive 73-7 defeat of the University of Arizona Wildcats Friday night in Tucson.
Arizona was missing four players who are at the USA U20 camp, however, this was still a solid Gaels outing. St. Mary's led 30-7 at halftime and exploded for 43 unanswered points in the second half.
It was a bittersweet moment for Amy Naber. The 24-year-old was playing in her final 15s match for the University of Arizona, and it was against in-state rival Arizona State. If ASU won, then the Sun Devils had a good shot at DI playoffs; if not, then the seed would go to UC Santa Barbara. So Naber scored four tries, and the Wildcats won 45-34.
