The Stanford Rugby team faced a very talented rugby team in there match against the Cal Rugby Club this past Saturday. The score at the end of the match was 74-0 but the score does not encompass the hard work and effort that Stanford Rugby team put into the match. Stanford Coach Matt Sherman also acknowledged this hard work in his quote about the game, "Cal presented the overwhelming challenge that we knew we were going to face. We set two conditions for our victory in both games. The first was that no matter what the score line read, we were not going to be defeated and were going to keep working hard to improve and battle forward. The second was that we would come together under that pressure to get better through the game. I'm extremely proud that the guys achieved both goals in both games. This wasn't easy being under so much pressure, and it would have been easy for them to do the opposite, but they were resilient and kept grinding for each other, and this experience was a step forward in our development as a team."
In the 2nd XV game, Stanford faced another top rugby team in the nation, Cal 2nd XV. After not playing a second side game for two years Stanford put out a very young team against a more experienced team Cal side. 128-0 was the score at the end of eighty minutes but the young Stanford team kept playing the full 80 minutes and showed a lot of potential. Stanford Rugby definitely has a future with these young rugby players.
