Sonoma State, Cal Poly Pomona, UC Irvine - All Undefeated after Day One!

That's right - Sonoma State, Cal Poly Pomona and UC Irvine finished the first day of the WCRHL 2010-2011 season undefeated.  Sonoma surprised a USC squad and defeated them 9-5 in  Sonoma's first game of the day.  They went on to defeat UC Davis and Claremont.  Cal Poly Pomona put up 2 wins and a tie and UC Irvine defeated both of their opponents on Saturday.

 

Sonoma State looked good - the skill was there and they did not make many mistakes in these games.  Goaltending was excellent as well.  Cal Poly Pomona plays a fast, physical game that often takes their opponent by storm. UC Irvine outscored their opponents by a combined score of 14-6.  Other teams are not far behind - UC Santa Cruz sits with a 3-1 record after day one and USC is 2-1 going into Sunday.  USC looks strong, in spite of their loss against Sonoma State.  The USC program is probably the strongest in WCRHL Division II, with a couple great additions this season as well.

DII action continues Sunday morning....
