vs UC Santa Cruz
January 27th, 2007 marked the SCUTS’ first home game of the season, and what an
exciting game it was. From the very beginning of the game both teams were ready to take each other on at full force. After an exciting first half with the Slugs leading 5-0, junior wing Scott Naylor scored his first try and senior John Travis kicked for points. Junior Scott Peterson scored a magnificent try at the end of the game but despite a strong showing, as well as a record fan attendance, UC Santa Cruz Slugs took home the victory 18-14.
Referee’s Recap
Referee - Bryant Byrnes
A fast, furious match, contested to the end. And a pleasure to officiate. My compliments to both teams and their coaches. After the off sides line was agreed to, the second half saw an extraordinary amount of multi phase play-I lost count of one sequence after about 11.
The more experienced Slugs-who apparently won big last year-scored first 8 minutes in, but were thereafter stymied by Bronco hard tackling, it was 5-0 at half. The second half was even better stuff. Great pace, less penalties, more points.
