Following the defeats in their most recent games against UCLA and Portland, the Bears’ initial momentum at the beginning of the season seemed to be on the verge of an irreversible halt.
Having suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat against No. 31 UCLA in the Bruins’ backyard, Cal men’s soccer is determined to bounce back and reclaim its momentum.
After a mediocre performance in the first two games of the season, the Bears performed extraordinarily well in their first home game against Fairleigh Dickinson by winning 3-0.
After tying their first game, the Bears looked for their first win of the season against No. 18 Wake Forest. Nonetheless, no clear victor could be determined after a hard fought battle that ended in a draw.
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.
