Cal Rugby wins Battle of the Bay
Ranked just 3rd in the country in rugby 7s after a second place finish at the fall season opening West Coast Sevens (losing narrowly to UCLA in the finals), the Golden Bears bounce back by winning the 2nd of 3 fall rugby 7s tournament.
In the Battle of Bay that took place on Treasure Island, the Golden Bears made a big statement at the 16 team tournament by scoring the most points (170), most tries (28), and having the best try differential (+20). Even though the group play game against ASU was kind of close (19-14 Bears victory), Cal closed out the final 40-12 thanks to 33 unanswered points at one stretch.

Bears will next host the PAC Rugby 7s Championships, the fall season ending tournament, at Wittier Field on November 8th and 9th. The Pool A teams that the Bears will play on Saturday are Stanfurd, Oregon State, Arizona, and Arizona State. Bears will likely get a chance to avenge their loss to UCLA in the knockout round on Saturday.
Cal Men's Soccer (9-3-1, 3-2-1 in the Pac-12)
Golden Bears earned a tough road win on Thursday night, prevailing 2-1 at San Diego State (the lone "Pac-12" team that is not in contention for the postseason). With that win, the Bears set up a big Sunday match with No.1 UCLA down in Westwood. Golden Bears had defeated UCLA 3-2 in OT earlier this season in Berkeley. UCLA got a 2-2 draw with Stanfurd on Thursday night, leaving the door slightly ajar for the Bears to possibly win the conference title should the Golden Bears be able to pick up 3 points on Sunday. More on that game in the Sunday preview/gamethread.
Bears took a first half lead thanks to a goal by Christian Thierjung, but the Aztecs found an equalizer midway through the 2nd half. Freshman Paul Salcedo earns yet another game winner on SDSU when he was able to score off the rebound in the 83rd minute.
In the 83rd minute of action, Salcedo found space streaking through the Aztecs' defense, and got off an initial shot that was saved by SDSU redshirt freshman goalkeeper Adam Allmaras. However, the ball bounced right back to Salcedo, who netted his second-career game-winning goal. Salcedo’s first game-winning goal also came against SDSU earlier this season.
1 2 F
No. 17 Cal 1 1 2
SDSU 0 1 1
Scoring Summary
Cal – 23:11 Christian Thierjung (Omid Jalali and Jose Carrera-Garcia)
SDSU – 69:06 Rene Reyes (Sergio Enriquez)
Cal – 82:19 Paul Salcedo (unassisted)
Cal Women's Soccer (11-4-2, 3-3-2 in the Pac-12)
After a 1-0 victory at No.25 ASU last Friday, the Bears followed that up with a 1-1 draw at Arizona.
HEAD COACH NEIL MCGUIRE’S TAKE
McGuire says: Today was a very hard-fought game. Credit to Arizona for playing very well. They play a style that is very demanding and it took us to the second half to compete. A tie is a fair result.
GOLDEN BEAR GOAL
73' -- Taylor Comeau (unassisted) -- Comeau hit a hard shot toward the net and the ball hit an Arizona player, landing on the right side of the net on the deflection
Comeau says: Ari (Arielle Ship) passed it to Lorin (Hom) and I called for it at the top of the box. She gave me a nice weighted pass on the ground. I took a touch by a player and shot it. It deflected off one of their players but still bounced into the goal. I was a little annoyed when she blocked it because I felt like I hit it pretty well, but it went in so I was happy either way.
ARIZONA GOAL
41' - Gabi Stoian - roller into right corner of net
Bears host the Oregon schools this weekend (OSU this afternoon at 2pm) in their final regular season homestand. Golden Bears then close out their regular season at Stanfurd on Thursday night.

While the Bears look to be in a good position to make it back to the NCAA tournament for the moment, a winning record in the conference play will surely secure a bid.
Cal Volleyball
You know it's been a trying season for Cal Volleyball when I won't even mention their record here. The Golden Bears again showed some resilience by taking a set against a top 25 UCLA team, but ultimately fall short again to remain winless in the conference at the halfway point.
There are certainly plenty of volleyball left to be played, and this team really does not appear to be that overmatched in the very tough Pac-12 conference. Chances are, the Golden Bears will pick up a few wins in the conference play any days now.
GAMEDAY (and Happy Halloween)! Get your trick-or-treating done early and watch us against No. 12 Oregon at 8 p.m. on Pac-12 Networks.
