CALFH

In its first match of the 2023 NCAA field hockey tournament, Cal lost to Miami University Ohio for the second time this season, ending the Bears' brief stint in the tournament.

The Bears came out on top over one of the No. 1 teams in the America East Conference on Friday, boosting their championship standings and adding impressive stats to their record.

Despite the onslaught of emotions from this final farewell match, the seniors brought intensity and confidence to the field, leading the charge in the Bears’ first shutout victory at home since their 2-0 triumph against Stanford in the 2021 season.

Following mixed results on the road, Cal will be back on the West Coast to face UC Davis in back-to-back weekend games. The team hopes to keep the momentum it built up over the weekend in upcoming battles against the Aggies.

The blue and gold will look to gain momentum in America East Conference play as they travel to the UMass Lowell River Hawks and Bryant Bulldogs on Oct. 6 and Oct. 8. Its east coast trip comes following back-to-back matchups against rival Stanford.

Cal field hockey played its own ‘Big Game’ this weekend in matches against Stanford — first displaying an impressive victory over the Cardinal on Friday and then falling by one point Sunday afternoon.

After four straight away games, the Bears are coming home this Friday for the Stanford doubleheader with a 3-5 record and a two-loss streak — having fallen in their past two matches against Albany and Vermont.

Cal clocked in Friday and Sunday to play its first two conference games against a pair of redoubtable teams, the Albany Great Danes and the Vermont Catamounts.

Sitting at a .500 record after three straight wins, the Bears are on the brink of conference play. Cal will start against the Albany Great Danes on Friday and continue on Sunday against the Vermont Catamounts.
