Women’s Rugby
The UCSD women’s rugby team suffered a disappointing loss against UC Santa Barbara on the road this weekend.
The two teams were as even as can be heading into the game, which UCSB won 24-20.
UCSD had their way with UCSB in the first half, and were actually up by 15 points at the end of the first half. Laura Reeves scored twice and Melina Madrigal also scored.
In the second half, however, UCSB had an amazing comeback, pulling out the win.
Candace Jackman and Teresa Facchini had big days for UCSD.
The team next plays at home on Jan. 27 against Arizona State.
Ice Hockey
The UCSD ice hockey team had a weekend it would rather forget as it fell to California State University Long Beach 8-4.
UCSD gave up four unanswered goals to open up play and never recovered. The team did struggle back, closing to within 5-4 at the end of the second period, but it was too little, too late. Long Beach strapped on its skates and gave it to UCSD in the third period for the dominating win.
Casey Kempneil, Stephen Cohen, Rich Hsiao and Keith Davis all contributed goals. UCSD goalkeeper Scott Friedman tried his best, making 18 saves in the third period alone.
