Brigham Young University's 2009 rugby team had accomplished what seemed impossible. They beat the favored Golden Bears of Cal in the national championship 25-22.

Cal (30-2) had a great year and seemed to have everything going their way. Several penalties by BYU (18-0) left the Bears with several opportunities with the advantage.

With only two minutes left in the game and a tied score, BYU has a shot at a penalty kick. Watch the video and find out what happened.
