The California lacrosse team returns to California Memorial Stadium this weekend to host No. 6 Syracuse following a four-game road swing dating back to mid-March. The ACC contest will start at 3 p.m. PT.

Cal will also recognize seniors Callan Fritsch, Kalena Johnson, Kennedy Mason and Belle Tiesi after the match.

The Golden Bears are coming off a tough road loss at Clemson last weekend but still managed to go 2-2 in the road trip with wins against Marist and Winthrop, in addition to a loss at Duke.

Cal and Syracuse will meet for the third time in history; the two programs last faced off in 2009 when the Orange won 18-2. Syracuse also won the first match in the series.

Syracuse most recently fell short to Yale, 13-10 on Wednesday, ending its four-game winning streak. Sophomore attack Ashlee Volpe was the leading scorer of the game, with four goals for the Orange.
