GRR: UCSB
Long Beach State defeated UC Santa Barbara 50-23 this past weekend to follow up with their November defeat of Arizona State in preseason games.
The UC Santa Barbara Gauchos women's team has announced that capped Eagle Kelly Griffin will be the team's new head coach for the 2019-2020 season.
Griffin replaces Zac Winter, who will be starting his career as an elementary school teacher this fall. The Gauchos program issued a public thank-you to Winter for leading the team to two straight national playoff appearances.
In what might have been the most surprising result in DIA rugby this past weekend, UC Santa Barbara defeated Cal Poly 27-22.
UCSB went into the game not ranked in DIA or by Goff Rugby Report, while Cal Poly went into th game ranked #20 in DIA and #27 among all DI teams by Goff Rugby Report.
It's pretty much all over now in the California Conference, as San Diego State put their stamp on the regular season, and Cal Poly slipped at a crucial moment.
SD State bounced back from a humbling loss to Saint Mary's (who have all but sewn up the conference at 4-0) to smash Santa Clara 92-28.
Santa Clara defeated UCSB 53-21 Saturday to move to 1-1 in the California Conference.
While San Diego State beat Sacramento State 62-12 to move to 1-0 (SD State Rambles Past Sac State), Santa Clara put themselves in excellent position to challenge for a playoff spot out of the conference.
