Cal Maritime Rugby

Keelhaulers Earn Hard Fought Victory over Western Washington

 

(Orem, UT, April 5, 2008) – On just sixteen hours of rest after losing to Utah Valley, Cal Maritime played Western Washington in the consolation play-off game. The game was the last of the season for both teams and they provided an exciting contest which Cal Maritime won by 22-17.

 

Cal Maritime again started strongly and quickly scored 17 points for the second consecutive game through tries from Bobbie Rather, Kevin Randel and John Skoda.

 

Western Washington also scored two first half tries to make the score 17-12 at the break.

 

The second half saw both teams struggle with their fitness at altitude in Utah and each team scored only five points in the entire 40 minutes.

 

For Cal Maritime Bobbie Rather scored again.

 

The game ends the season for Cal Maritime but is used to create next season’s play-off seedings.

 

“To play on only 16 hours rest is harsh, maybe the scheduling of kick-off times can be re-examined.”, said coach Edward Roberts. “But our players picked themselves off the floor and gave a performance they can be proud of. This team has the potential to go further next season”.
