A big game looms in the Gold Coast Conference in Men's DIAA college action this weekend.
Grand Canyon, which leads the conference with a 2-0 record, visits defending conference champs Cal State Long Beach. Neither team got what they wanted last weekend, as Long Beach's game was rained out, and GCU got a forfeit from Azusa Pacific. Both would like to have played.
Cal State Long Beach went 5-0 in the High Desert Classic in Albuquerque, NM this past weekend.
Cal State Long Beach won the Gold Coast Conference championship Sunday, but it wasn’t easy, and it almost didn’t happen.
After beating a very tough University of San Diego team on Saturday, the 49ers beat USC 38-36 on Sunday. That’s the short version, but the long version is much more dramatic.
Grand Canyon University stayed in the Gold Coast Conference hunt with a 59-26 defeat of Cal State Fullerton 59-26 at GCU’s Colter Field Saturday.
Cal State Long Beach sits clear atop the Gold Coast after an impressive 72-12 defeat of Grand Canyon University Saturday.
GCU was hit with some injuries but still fielded a big, powerful forward pack. Battling the heat of an Arizona February afternoon the Long Beach 49ers worked the ball wide as much as possible, and the tactic worked nicely.
