at Cal Maritime
For the first game of the rugby season on January 20th, 2007, the Santa Clara
University Touring Side was looking to start off their season with a win against Cal Maritime. The SCUTS got off to a promising start when freshman Michael Chacon-Teran found a break in the Cal Maritime defense and passed the ball to sophomore Patrick Haggerty for the try in the first five minutes of the game. Senior Sean Falvey kicked for points. A few minutes later, Falvey made a penalty kick to put the SCUTS up 10 to 0. After allowing Cal Maritime a few tries of their own, it appeared that the SCUTS were going to make a comeback when Patrick Haggerty scored another try in the second half. But unfortunately the men just could not control Cal Maritime’s defense and lost the game 32-15.
