Santa Rosa JC 15 – SANTA CLARA 28 Referee: Mike King
Santa Clara seemed to be playing on fumes at the beginning of the match, having already played on Saturday and Sunday over the weekend and studying for mid-terms. Santa Rosa JC was certainly ready to take advantage of the flat start by the visitors and scored after some nice second phase moves. Not to be outdone, the visitors came storming back and tied the game a little later. The rest of the half remained a seesaw battle until a try for Clara right at the close of the half. SCU 10-5 at halftime.
Santa Clara came out more energized in the second half and early pressure led to a penalty goal. Later in the half, the SCUTS connected on another penalty, but only after they scored a converted try on a nice pass and run sequence. The home team seemed to be the less energetic side for awhile, but the locals came roaring back and ran in a try, and then the #8 picked up from the scrum and took it to the corner for another. However, Santa Clara attacked once more for another try. Hard fought match which was a bit sloppy at times, but the lads from both sides deserve credit for their determination.
SCUTs Scoring:
Tries: 4
