Stanford 35, Cal 0

Saturday was a beautiful sunny day as the Stanford Women's Rugby team arrived at Cal's football stadium. Stanford was able to secure a "W" beating Cal, 35-0, and while the result was what the team had hoped for, the play during the game was not up to Coach Griff's or the players' standards. Playing on a shortened field caused some trouble for the Stanford team, as did the lack of support for ball carriers. Although the team was not able to play to their usual high standards, Saturday's game showed what they need to work on, and hopefully, they'll be able to iron out the kinks in their remaining league games. Perhaps they need more fitness work- a point to consider.

On the backs behalf, both Amelia Villines and Jennifer Cooperrider contributed tries. And with what has to be come expected from the Stanford pack, Alyssa Tennant and Frances Wehrwein also found themselves in the try zone. Melissa Smit, with her beautifully toned legs, was able to convert all 5 kicks for extra points.

Next week brings Reno, which may not have weather quite so fair.
