It was a golden start to the fall season for the Cal Bears rugby program, which traveled to Los Angeles and came away with a championship title to open their Sevens campaign.
According to calbears.com, the Bears launched their fall Sevens schedule in Los Angeles and capped the tournament with a championship victory — a strong early statement for the program heading into the season ahead.
The tournament gave the Bears an opportunity to compete on the road in Southern California, and they made the most of it, finishing at the top of the standings. The championship win marks an encouraging beginning for Cal’s Sevens squad as they build momentum for the months to come.
Rugby Sevens, a fast-paced and exciting variant of the traditional fifteen-a-side game, has grown steadily in popularity across California and the broader United States in recent years. Tournaments like this one held in Los Angeles give collegiate programs a high-profile stage to showcase their talent and compete at a strong level early in the season.
For Cal fans and the broader Los Angeles rugby community, the Bears’ championship performance was a welcome highlight — a reminder of the depth of collegiate athletic talent that regularly makes its way to the city. The Bears will look to carry this early success forward as their Sevens season continues to unfold.
