GRR: St. Mary's
Saint Mary's took it to Cal Saturday, beating their Northern California rivals 32-14 Saturday in the second game either of these two teams have played since March of 2020.
The Gaels were able to bring back a couple of players who didn't play in last week's win over Central Washington, and despite having trouble in the lineout just found more space to exploit.
Just as some college rugby teams are getting back into competition, others are slowing down their activity.
Saint Mary's opened up their season after more than a year away from competition, and beat a very strong Central Washington team 38-17 in Moraga, Saturday.
The Gaels ran out to a 26-0 lead, playing their characteristic wide open game. Wing Jonathan Hackett, wing Aiden Howe, fullback Erich Storti, and Howe again went over, with scrumhalf Karl Keane getting three conversions.
Central Washington will play at Saint Mary's Saturday in a relatively hastily-prepared game that brings the Gaels back to competition more than a year after everything was shut down.
Kevin Swiryn attended Saint Mary's College of California planning to play football, but when the football program was halted, he found something better.
