vs University of San Francisco
On February 23rd, 2008 the SCUTS added another Win to their record against their Jesuit school rivals the USF Dons at Bellomy field, 62-0. Senior center Scott Peterson was the first to break through the USF defense to score the first try of the game. From then on, the match was a display of total SCUTS dominance despite the difficult weather conditions. Senior flyhalf Scott Naylor was able to take advantage of the gaps in between the USF back line to score three tries during the game. The rest of the back line was able to work effectively to score multiple trys as well, with Junior wing Patrick Haggerty, Junior inside center Tyler Petersen, Sophomore wing Marc Fuller, and Sophomore scrumhalf JP Goethals all contributing points to the scoreboard. The forward pack also added some trys of their own, with Senior eight-man Greg Ginotti and Senior prop Matt Salvidar ending in the try zone. Senior fullback Mitch Ryan was able to make a total of 12 points in conversion kicks to cap off a good day for the SCUTS.
Referee’s Recap
Referee - Rob Hendrickson
Santa Clara continued their undefeated season with a convincing win against USF in a game which was luckily scheduled in the morning and before the torrential rains that hit the south bay later in the day. Although Santa Clara scored it first try in the opening minutes, USF defended well for the next quarter or so, and Santa Clara led by only 4 tries at the half. Santa Clara’s backs picked it up a notch in the second half with several impressive breakaways.
