Longtime PAC favorites, the California Golden Bears (12-0, 6-0 PAC), lead an eight-team field of Pac-12-member universities in points (+96) and try (+15) differentials, sweeping pool play Saturday in the two-day 2018 PAC Rugby Sevens Championship.
California routed its Pool B competition at home on Witter Rugby Field. The Bears entered the conference championship undefeated in two earlier sevens tournaments this fall at the West Coast Sevens in San Luis Obispo, Calif., and San Francisco’s Treasure Island.
In its first match Saturday, California shut out its archrivals, the Stanford Cardinal, 50-0. Sophomore center Adam Roeske earned the first score for the Bears in the first minute.
