The Southern California collegiate all-stars are in the final of the National Collegiate All-Star Championships after defeating the Pacific Coast 58-13.

SoCal was led by captain Peter Tiberio. The Arizona back is coming into his own this year and was outstanding in leading a Griffin effort that repeatedly punished Grizzly mistakes. Tiberio linked well with Arizona teammate Brett Thompson, while Zach Fenoglio was outstanding in the forwards.

Meanwhile the Pacific Coast, which fielded a team lacking several very well-known players from prominent programs such as Cal and BYU, battled hard but found themselves behind early.

“We chased the game and when that happened we started to make more mistakes,” said Pacific Coast Head Coach Paul Keeler. “We had some bright moments, and I think if we had gotten the ball to AJ Tuinau and Kingsley McGowan more they would have done some damage.”

Matt Crawford led from the front at prop and Garrett Brewer was good at fullback for Pacific Coast. SoCal, though, was too much.

“Anytime we made a mistake, they scored,” said Keeler.
