With the calendar turning to the month of May, it is the time to shine for Cal Athletics. Cal won a total of 4 national titles in May/June last year - rugby in 15s (Varsity Cup), 7s (Collegiate Rugby Championship), men’s crew (IRA), and women’s crew (NCAA). Golden Bears have strong chances to repeat as team national champs (and adding to program’s 95 team national championships in history) in all 4 of these competitions.
Check back here tomorrow for my full preview (and gamethread) for Cal Rugby’s Varsity Cup Final match (noon PT from Santa Clara University; also on NBC Sports Network).
