What began as a light drizzle suddenly turned into a driving rain storm in Moraga, where the two-time defending national champion Saint Mary’s rugby team entertained a lively mix of Gael and Golden Bear fans with a hard fought 27-14 match at Saint Mary’s Stadium, a match that ultimately went California’s way.
Normally an upstart attacking team, Saint Mary’s was no match for Cal’s stout defense early on, which contained the Gaels’ attack all throughout the first half of play and limited their forward progress for most of the contest.
