Stanford's first 7's match of the year was a great showing. From the first kickoff to the final minute Stanford dominated the game. Stanford kicked off first and held Santa Clara inside there own half for the majority of the first half with a solid defensive line. In the first half tries were scored by Cason Kynes, Robert Polk and Dan Ibarra. In the second half the game opened up as Santa Clara begin to put Stanford under pressure moving the ball better. But Stanford's defense held strong only letting up one try late in the second half as the offense of Stanford continued to power through Santa Clara, taking advantage of turnovers, using the space and running hard lines. Cason Kynes and Marcus Henderson both scored phenomenal tries in the second , Cason took a turnover the length of the field for a try and Marcus Henderson elusively avoided defenders to score a brilliant try. Peter Livesey also sneaked through the defense to score a great try. This 7's match was a great way to start the season but Stanford is looking forward to playing 15's hopefully their success in 7's will translate into 15's, if so its sure to be a great season.
