Lamorinda varsity gold went undefeated in regular season and post season play. Their incredible run was recognized by Rugby Magazine and they were named No. 1 in California and No. 2 in the nation by the publication.
In the state cup game on May 19, Lamorinda took a 15-0 lead into halftime and then scored quickly in the second period for a commanding 22-0 lead against Oceanside of southern California. The final score was 27-17.
As a result of playing rugby, a number of the players received special consideration in being accepted to universities such as Cal, St. Mary's, University of British Columbia, UCLA, Oregon State and Central Washington.
