It's Bears vs. Bruins in Final of UCLA Tourney

Jan. 20, 2007

LOS ANGELES - California will face host UCLA at 1:30 p.m. Sunday after sweeping Oregon (32-3), USC (34-0), Washington State (38-0) and Arizona (40-5) to advance to the final of the second annual UCLA Tournament. The Golden Bears and Bruins came clean out of their respective groups on a busy day featuring every Pac-10 university.

The Bruins advanced to tomorrow's final with wins over ASU, Washington, Stanford and Oregon State, hanging on for a 10-6 win over the Beavers in their last match to end the day unbeaten. In last year's final, Cal defeated Washington State, 27-6, to win the inaugural tournament.

On a perfect day for rugby, Cal yielded one try and a penalty goal on Saturday as head coach Jack Clark started four different lineups and substituted liberally.

In addition to the final of the UCLA Tournament, the Bears send a reserve XV to play Loyola Marymount tomorrow at 10 a.m. Cal returns home on Jan. 27 to host UC Davis on Witter Rugby Field at 1:00 p.m.
