Perennial favorites, the California Golden Bears overpowered the UCLA Bruins in the 2018 West Coast Collegiate Sevens cup final with a strong 17-5 result. While California finished the two-day tournament unbeaten, there were occasional scares along the way for Head Coach Jack Clark’s side.
After overwhelming the Utah Utes 36-0 in the cup quarterfinals, the Bears set their sights on avenging last year’s 31-26 overtime upset by the Arizona Wildcats in the PAC Sevens Championship cup final. In a back-and-forth semifinal match, the crowd at Treasure Island’s Ray Sheeran Field was on upset-watch at halftime with the score tied at 10-all.
