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.
Two weekends ago, it looked like Arizona was going to upset the Pacific Mountain Conference (PMC) South leader, UC San Diego, as it entered the half up 21-0. But then the scales of experience shifted the match into the Tritons’ favor and the win slipped away.
