GRR: Cal Women
Stanford beat Cal in impressive fashion Saturday to win the CRAA Women's D1 title, but it wasn't all Cardinal, as the Bears showed that, yes, they can play rugby too.
Cal came out determined to hit Stanford hard and pressure them into mistakes.
Stanford and Cal will play for the CRAA Women's D1 collegiate championship after both teams won semifinals Sunday.
The University of California women's team might not have concentrated on 7s training, but it didn't really matter.
Cal won the Pacific Mountain West women's 7s championships this past weekend at Stanford, overcoming an early loss to the hosts to beat San Francisco, Chico State, Fresno State, and, in the final, Stanford.
Tomorrow, University of Washington (North #2), Chico State (West #2), UC Berkeley (West #3), UCSD (South #1), UCLA (South #2), Washington State (North #1), Arizona State (South #3), and UC Davis (West #1) will be competing in the Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference playoffs and a place in the national Women's DI Spring Quarterfinals.
Stanford found the redemption it was looking for from its last match against UC Davis by beating Cal by over 40 points Saturday.
