The great California clash: Bears to face Bruins, Trojans

This week, the prodigal team returns to face No. 4 UCLA and No. 21 USC. The Bears will defend home turf at Witter Rugby Field against the Bruins on Friday, followed by the Trojans on Sunday.
These two matches will mark the first time the blue and gold have faced both Southern California teams this year. After breaking even last weekend with a 1-1 record against Arizona State and Arizona, Cal has a golden opportunity to prove itself against both Los Angeles heavyweights.
This “California Clash” begins Friday against the highly-ranked and extremely competitive Bruins. UCLA has scored a stunning 26 goals this season and leads the conference in save percentage (0.873) as well as goals against-average (0.56).
