LMU

Opening weekend turned out to be an impressive one. They put away teams that they should have put away and did not let their loss shake their confidence.

Seeking redemption after multiple losses and ties, the Bears remain hopeful as they face the Stanford Cardinal in the Big Clasico.

Should Cal manage a win, or even a tie, against the No. 1 NCAA men’s soccer team in the nation, it’ll undoubtedly have the last laugh.

After rebounding from their first loss of the season with a win at Long Beach State, the Bears roll into the start of conference play with a 4-1-2 record.

On Sunday afternoon, the tournament’s championship game commenced. The two rivals battled it out and the Bears ultimately exacted revenge on the Cardinal with a decisive 4-1 victory.

In two wins over Oregon and UC Davis on the Clark Kerr Sand Courts in Berkeley, the Bears proved their momentum could not be tamed.

The Bears will open their MPSF campaign Friday afternoon against LMU across the Bay on Stanford’s campus. The two squads have yet to meet this season, but recent history sides in Cal’s favor, including a 16-1 beat down last season.
