Cal men's soccer

Cal has one more opportunity to show out in front of its home crowd on Saturday as it closes out the 2022 season against Stanford.

Cal men’s soccer nearly made a rare blemish on No. 1 Washington’s undefeated record, but lost to a late goal by the Huskies in the last nine seconds of the match. On Sunday, the blue and gold faced Oregon State, where they were able to come back in the latter half of the game to finish the weekend off with a draw.

As if the Bears needed anymore losses, this week is looking extremely bleak for Cal, which is set to face No. 1 University of Washington Thursday and Oregon State Sunday.

Cal’s play is not well reflected in the results after this weekend in SoCal after suffering a loss to UCLA and a draw at SDSU

If anything, Cal was supposed to have the slight advantage in the matchup against the University of San Francisco. However, the 5-1 loss that the Bears took tells a different story.

Following a rather difficult run on the road — with two losses and a tie — the Cal men’s soccer team has returned home for a match against its neighbors across the Bay: the University of San Francisco Dons.

Though this weekend didn’t result in any wins, the blue and gold should be proud of their play.

Thursday will see the blue and gold take on Oregon State in Corvallis before they head to Seattle to play the University of Washington.

Cal came out of the locker room guns blazing. In the first half, Stanford was the one applying the pressure and controlling possession. In the first ten minutes of the second half, however, it looked as if Cal was the ranked team, as it had Stanford on its heels.

This week, the Big Game won’t be happening on the football field but instead the fútbol field. Cal Men’s Soccer travels to Stanford to add another chapter to one of the oldest rivalries in sports.
