UNLV vs. Westmont College

This past weekend our team had the opportunity to travel to Santa Barbara to play against Westmont College. It was an eye-opening experience, being a rookie and playing against such a veteran team, but I felt comfortable and up to the task. Needless to say, the majority of our team did not feel the same way and it showed on the scoreboard. We kept it close but ended up giving up a careless try in the final minutes and a couple silly penalties that put the game out of reach. I really love playing rugby, I wouldn't say its my calling in life, but for now I really enjoy it. Final score: Westmont 23-UNLV 7.
It was my first time in SB and I thought it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen(anyone ever seen Oprah's estate in Westmont? yea, its so official.......).I was kinda bummed that Jillian couldn't make it down but it seems like the weekend focused to studying really payed off. Nick (my good friend and teammate) and I were also lucky enough to spend a night in San Juan with my amazing in-laws. I think the world of them.
