The Saint Mary's rugby team completed a five-day tour of Arizona, playing University of Arizona on Jan. 17 and Arizona State on Jan. 19. The Gaels have not played any Arizona schools in nearly a decade, but the team reminded the desert schools of the strong rugby played in the Bay Area. SMC went up 26-3 in the first half against the Arizona Wildcats. The Gaels maintained their intensity in the second half to finish the game 45-3. In the second game, the "A" side dominated the Wildcats 76-10. Saint Mary's then traveled to Phoenix where they beat Arizona State. The Gaels finished the first game 40-10, before the "A" side defeated the Sun Devils 59-19. SMC is now 4-0 after early wins against San Francisco Golden Gate and Diablo Men's clubs.
