Berkeley hosted Santa Cruz on a gorgeous day for three 25 minute periods. The game was played on Berkeley's all-weather turf field, which made for a smaller, odd-shaped pitch lined for soccer and lacrosse. Despite the lack of proper field markings and goal posts, the two teams came together for a fun friendly after participating in a skills clinic.
Set pieces and forward play were fairly evenly matched between the teams, but Berkeley had a difficult time containing Santa Cruz's midfield and back three.
Santa Cruz also employed a strategic kicking game that kept Berkeley in their own half. UCSC scored three tries in the first period, and one try each in the next two periods, while Berkeley's lone score came in the last period. No conversions were attempted due to lack of uprights.

Berkeley always teaches us the coolest new tackling drills...
Under the watchful eyes of Street, Ellen, and Chou
Yea the lines were kinda funny, the guy in the striped shirt was the touch judge...our winger/fly-half Kelly McMahon (of no relationship to the WRWC eagle flanker) keeping her legs pumping despite a tough Berkeley tackle
Showing that she still has the wheels to finish 'em (also note the lack of a try zone)
