GRR: Grand Canyon University
Cal defeated Saint Mary's 38-5 to win the West Coast 7s Saturday.
In the first major college 7s tournament in California this season, 12 teams were slated to play, however USC received a suspension just days before the event and could not participate.
The West Coast 7s kicks off the college 7s season in the California area with a tough 12-team lineup.
Grand Canyon University has announced it has hired Lindenwood University backs and 7s coach Cameron Wyper as the men's rugby program's new backs and 7s coach.
Wyper brings considerable playing and coaching experience to a GCU team that will include over 35 players who played high school rugby in the U.S.
In a game very similar to our previous encounter, USC came from behind to snatch a Gold Coast Conference semifinal victory from Grand Canyon University, 17-12 Saturday.
The regular league season came to a close for Southern California and Grand Canyon Universities this past weekend as the two teams met in Las Vegas.
Although they had already secured a playoff spot in the Gold Coast Conference, USC needed to achieve at least a double-bonus-point-loss in order to maintain their hold on a first or second place finish and a home playoff match.
