GRR: California
Emilio Shea's try with six minutes left sealed a tense victory for Cal over Saint Mary's, seeing this classic rivalry once again go down to the wire.
Cal defeated Central Washington 48-19 under the lights in Berkeley on Friday.
The Bears hit hard and early and stymied CWU's initial opportunities, and it was, overall, an aggressive defensive performance from Cal and some quick ball movement that saw them through.
Cal scored a try at the end of the game to haul in Brigham Young University and turn a 21-17 deficit into a 24-21 victory Saturday in Berkeley.
It was a back-and-forth affair at Witter Rugby Field, and Cal needed every minute to get past the Cougars.
Beware a good college rugby team that hasn't been able to play; really beware an excellent rugby team that hasn't played in a while.
Cal visited the state of Arizona this weekend and defeated University of Arizona 94-10 and two days late dismissed Grand Canyon University 84-0.
As we look ahead to this weekend in D1A rugby, it's kind of a rare thing at this time of year to see Cal idle.
