GRR: Cal Poly
Santa Clara's win over UC Davis has vaulted the Broncos into the California Conference conversation.
The anticipated early-season clash between UCLA and Cal Poly ended up being not being as close as some (like this editor) expected.
A game though to have the potential to go either way ended up going heavily UCLA's way to the tune of 65-7. UCLA was fast and aggressive, led 41-0 at halftime, and cruised.
Don’t look now but there’s a major college game in the California Conference in one of the earliest weeks.
Yes, so Saint Mary’s is atop the conference at 2-0 and is favored to be 3-0 by weekend’s end. But who can chase the Gaels? Cal Poly is much improved this year, and Grand Canyon, the #2 team out of the conference last season, is back.
Three big pieces of news came out of the opening West Coast 7s collegiate tournament this past weekend.
In what might have been the most surprising result in DIA rugby this past weekend, UC Santa Barbara defeated Cal Poly 27-22.
UCSB went into the game not ranked in DIA or by Goff Rugby Report, while Cal Poly went into th game ranked #20 in DIA and #27 among all DI teams by Goff Rugby Report.
