Cal Maritime Soaked by Santa Rosa

(Vallejo, Feb 27, 2006) – In horrendous weather conditions, Santa Rosa JC scored three tries
to defeat Cal Maritime 20-3. Playing in wind and rain for the entire game, Santa Rosa took the opportunities to score in a sloppy but intense game.

Cal Maritime opened the scoring with a Chris Rathbun penalty and while the Keelhaulers
dominated the scrums, both teams struggled to keep possession creating a frantic game. Santa
Rosa scored the only try of the first half to lead 5-3 at half time.

Immediately after the break, Santa Rosa scored again to extend their lead. Both teams valiantly
tried to attack in the rain before Santa Rosa scored in the final movement of the game to seal the
victory.

“I’m proud of the team. I thought we battled well and kept trying until the end. The conditions
were terrible and didn’t suit how we like to play”, said Coach Edward Roberts. “We tried many
tactics but we couldn’t control the ball for long enough to get over the white line.”
