Chico State vs. UC Santa Cruz

Chico State vs. UC Santa Cruz (Saturday October 27, 4:00pm)

 

This game is a rematch of the WCRHL Division II 2011-2012 Championship Game.  Chico State defeated UC Santa Cruz by a score of 5-3 in the championship game last season, but it was UC Santa Cruz who took the regular season series 2 games to 1. 

 

The Chico roster looks very much the same, while the UC Santa Cruz roster loses Newens, but returns much of the rest.  Also UC Santa Cruz adds Jake Hennings (formerly of Saddleback).  Chico will do its best to make UC Santa Cruz’s job very difficult in this first matchup of the season, and both teams are hoping to set the tone, since they see themselves as the top 2 teams in the division.  (I'm sure UC Irvine is listening and taking exception to that!)
