Cal men’s soccer disappoints fans in an offensive-line embarrassment as it strikes out against Pacific at PayPal Park, 1-2.

Cal men’s soccer hopes to continue its winning streak against the Pacific Tigers on Thursday, Sept. 9 at PayPal Park -- home of the San Jose Earthquakes.

Cal men’s soccer is set to return to the field after months of anticipation and face off against UCSB and Saint Mary’s.

The Bears unsurprisingly stumbled through the first few steps, but found their footing after a challenging visit to Corvallis. Here’s how the historic, albeit mediocre, 2020-21 season unfolded.

The Bears’ tribulations, however, have girded Cal for Saturday’s battle at UCLA, its last game of the regular spring season. With a bid to the NCAA tournament within reach, the Bears have everything to play for.

Now unbeaten in four straight matches, the Bears have a golden opportunity to avenge their early misfortunes and beat the No. 7 Huskies on their home turf for the second season in a row.

By the 34th minute, down 3-0, the Bears seemed to accept defeat. Even in potential counter-attacking situations, players watched as haphazard, head-down runs down the sidelines amounted to nothing.

The Bears had success in weaving the ball through the resolute Huskies’ defense, but ultimately, attacking chances came sparingly.
