Over the weekend, the Bears had a chance to bring the heat to the Arizona desert but only caught fire against one of their two opponents.
On Friday, Cal women’s soccer edged out No. 16 Arizona State in a double overtime thriller, 2-1. Two days later, it cooled down in a 1-0 shutout loss to Arizona.
“The win over a highly ranked Arizona State was the highlight, but playing double overtime took its toll,” head coach Neil McGuire said in an email. “Today versus Arizona we scored an unfortunate own goal which meant we had to chase the game the whole time and just couldn’t find a way to score.”
