It took an epic comeback in the championship final over BYU for the California Golden Bears to win their first Varsity Cup, a competition that started in 2013, in program history last year. The Bears won their 2nd Varsity Cup, and 28th rugby 15s national championship, on Saturday afternoon in a much more straight forward fashion. Leading for the entire match since the 3rd minute try, the Bears defeated the Arkansas State Red Wolves via a 43-13 final score. Cal tied BYU for the most Varsity Cup titles (BYU had to vacate their 2015 title, so they only have two).
Cal Rugby repeats as Varsity Cup (15s) national champions!
