Palo Alto, Calif. | Rich May Memorial Field
12:00 PM
QUOTABLE
"We are excited to test ourselves against a quality program like Cal Poly," CWU Head Coach
Todd Thornley said. "They play quality rugby on both sides of the ball so we will have to put together a consistent performance. Having the last two weeks together has been very beneficial so I can't wait to see where we are at on Saturday".
SCOUTING CAL POLY SLO
The men's first XV will kick off their first D1A game this weekend against #14 Central Washington University. Cal Poly starts the season ranked outside the top 20 in D1A, so they Mustangs are eager to have a strong performance against CWU in order to potential rise in the rankings. As with the women's game, the men's game was originally scheduled as a home game. Due to heavy rain this week, the match has been moved to Rich May Field in Palo Alto. The game will kick off at noon.
NOTES
Brian Nault makes his return to the Wildcats' lineup, while US Youth Olympian Alex Cleary makes his Wildcat debut. Alex Mackenzie will skipper the Wildcat XV's squad.
