Five teams claimed spots in the USA Rugby 7s Club Championships Saturday in qualifier tournaments.

In the Pacific Coast Old Puget Sound Beach was upset in a close one 22-21 by SFGG, leaving the Seattle club out of the running. This was in the semis of the Pacific Coast Championships. SFGG were defeated by the Utah Warriors 47-26 in the final. Both SFGG and Utah earn spots at nationals.

Belmont Shore blew away the competition to win the Santa Monica 7s and take the SoCal #1 seed. Belmont Shore is expected to enter a 2nd side in next week's second qualifier in the hopes of challenging USA Rugby's one-team-only rule.

And in the South, Atlanta Old White won the South, defeating New Orleans in the final. Both teams make nationals.
