Bears Earn 3-1 Road Victory Over Cardinal
STANFORD – California men's soccer topped Bay Area rival Stanford in the regular-season finale, earning a decisive 3-1 victory over the Cardinal on the road.
The action began early, with Noe Morales putting the Bears ahead with a header in the 11th minute. The goal marked his third of the season and was assisted by Lucca Guimaraes. With momentum on Cal's side, Guimaraes extended the Bears' lead with an unassisted goal in the 21st minute.
Stanford cut the lead in half in the 40th minute, and both teams entered the locker room with Cal holding a 2-1 advantage at halftime. In the 60th minute, Cal added to its lead as D'Andre Pickett netted his first goal of the season. Pickett's unassisted goal capped the scoring and secured a 3-1 victory for the Bears, marking their third consecutive win over the rival Cardinal.
