Referee’s Recap
Referee - Larry Freitas
In a second side match between Santa Clara and UC Santa Cruz, the visitors from the Mission Campus won by scoring all 22 of their points in the first half of a fifty minute game. A few players from each side had played in the first side match also won by Santa Clara, who are now NorCal champs in the second division. Finals are on tap this week at both schools, but getting a game in for these second side players took priority for the time being.
UCSC had a game the day before away against USF in which many second side players participated; Santa Clara’s B side played against Stanford’s B side Friday. By the way, with that stiff wind blowing, the view of Monterey Bay was spectacular, and that’s something I will never tire of from the UC Santa Cruz pitch.
Santa Clara is headed for the playoffs in Utah in a few weeks, and getting some playing time for these players was important. UCSC is heading to Australia on a tour after finals. Good luck to both teams!
