A reversal of the early season misfortunes has proven head coach Kevin Grimes’ philosophy to be true. The Bears are just a few steps away from becoming the team they set out to be during their abbreviated preseason.

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 may start playing well and earning results in the near future, but if things do not start “clicking” soon for Cal, a historically poor season is a real possibility.

The first 30 minutes of play saw a back-and-forth affair play out as both teams slowly worked their way into the game. Cal received its first and only clear-cut opportunity in the 31st minute when freshman Taylor Davila dispossessed a Husky player to give senior forward Sam Ebstein possession.
