No. 12 Bears Rebound With UC Davis Shutout
BERKELEY --- The unblemished home record of the No. 12 California women's soccer team remained intact after its 4-0 shutout victory over the UC Davis Aggies Sunday afternoon at Goldman Field.
Cal (6-2) put together arguably its best offensive performance of the season to improve to 4-0 at home and bounce back from its loss at Saint Mary's on Friday. The Golden Bears posted a shot differential of +21 (22 shots to 1), matching its season high from its 2016 opener against Cal Poly. Against UC Davis (3-4-1), Cal was more effective with its chances as the team scored three more goals than it did against Cal Poly on fewer total shots (22 vs 26 against CPU) and shots on goal (10 vs. 11).
"I like the way that the team responded after Friday's match. We played a well-organized UC Davis team and the girls played hard for each other and their effort produced a great result," head coach Neil McGuire said postgame.
