With January in the rearview mirror, both the women’s and men’s programs look ahead to a February slate of conference matches. The women play at home versus West Coast Rugby Conference foe University of Nevada, Reno with a kickoff time of 12 p.m. on the Lowers Sports Complex Fields. The men are on the road in Santa Clara to play California Conference mate SCU Broncos. Kickoff is 1 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thrilling First Win, Another Tough Test Awaits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The women’s program snagged their first win of the regular season two weekends ago versus Santa Clara, 24-19. A back-and-forth affair that was punctuated with a frantic final minutes, in the words of assistant coach Paul Cappellano. With two minutes to go, Nirina Parrish stole a Broncos possession, giving her forwards an opportunity to burn time off the clock with a couple of phases. (A “phase” in rugby is the time of play in between “breakdowns,” or when a ball-carrier is tackled, for those who are new to the sport. Think of a down in American football.) In the face of desperate Broncos pressure, fourth-year Peyton Candaele of Murrieta, Calif., scored a long-range try to seal the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

University of Nevada, Reno had a similarly hard-fought victory last weekend over the Broncos, 17-12, setting up what should be a conference-defining clash in San Luis Obispo Saturday afternoon. Last season, the Mustangs defeated UNR 24-12 in Reno. You can view the full women’s schedule, results, and more on their website linked here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archibald Cup Secured Once More, Four California Conference Matches Await<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a loss on the road in Moraga, Calif., against the Gaels of Saint Mary’s, the men’s program was at home versus long-time rival Chico State Wildcats this past weekend. Despite being a Division II opponent, Chico State traditionally have given the Mustangs a fight year in and year out. Even so, the Mustangs have owned the series as of late. Cal Poly defeated the Wildcats 69-8 in San Luis Obispo, coincidentally matching the score of last year’s match. The Wildcats haven’t beaten the Mustangs since the fall of 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Archibald Cup is played in memory of Bryan Archibald, who passed away in 2010 and had close connections with both Cal Poly and Chico State programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cal Poly now look forward to a Santa Clara squad that are looking for vengeance after suffering a 69-17 defeat in San Luis Obispo last season. The Broncos secured their first win of the season last week versus Division II opponent Sacramento State, 35-31.
