GRR: Gold Coast Conference
Led by a very strong defensive effort and a little bit of good fortune, Cal State Long Beach took control of the Gold Coast Men’s DIAA Conference with a 23-0 shutout of Santa Barbara City College Saturday.
Both CSULB and SBCC came into the game boasting high-powered offenses, so Long Beach Head Coach Jason Reynolds looked to neutralize his opponents’ attacking strengths.
While Santa Barbara City College and Long Beach State rolled with big victories this weekend, the most intriguing development in the Gold Coast Conference is the growth of Southern California.
It's the second week for the Gold Coast collegiate conference, and a little lesson for young fans out there.
The first week of results in the Gold Coast Rugby Conference has quickly established a large gulf between the stronger teams and the less-strong teams.
Santa Barbara City College beat UC Irvine 55-5 on Saturday. Long Beach State hammered Cal State Fullerton 70-0, and San Diego took down UC San Diego 62-0.
Cal State Long Beach made a huge statement Saturday with a 70-0 defeat of Cal State Fullerton in a game that was expected by many to be much, much closer.
Fullerton ran a game plan with two of their bigger former forwards now in the backs. They had hoped to power through the CSULB defense, but Long Beach held them.
