Depth That Delivers

Cal is a team with depth and scoring from all over the roster. Of Cal's 11 goals so far this season, five have come from players off the bench, while nine different Bears have found the back of the net.

California And The Clean Sheet

Cal has shut out three of its opponents this season. Goalkeeper Adam Salama has played a key role in the Bears' defensive success, recording all three of Cal's clean sheets to rank tied for 22nd nationally in shutouts.

Worth The Shot

Callen Lewis has quickly established himself as a dangerous offensive presence for Cal. The sophomore leads the Bears in both shots and shots on goal while ranking among the nation's most accurate shooters. Lewis' 0.647 shot accuracy is second in the ACC and ranks 21st nationally. He also ranks fifth in the conference in shots on goal per game, averaging 1.38.

On The Board

Junhwan Park netted Cal's first goal of the season against Santa Clara, scoring a 78th minute beauty that secured the Bears' first win of the season. Eight other Bears have since joined him in the scoring column. Callen Lewis joined Park as the second Bear to net multiple goals this season after most recently scoring against Pitt.

A Shutout Start

Cal was one of just three teams to record a shutout against a top-25-ranked opponent in its season opener. The Bears held No. 6 Portland, a team that scored 40-plus goals during the 2025 season, to a clean sheet.

The Bears extended their shutout streak to back-to-back matches after holding Santa Clara scoreless in their second contest. The shutout streak came to an end at 241 minutes, with Cal allowing its first goal of the season against No. 12 UCLA.

Honor Roll

After a stunning performance in the season opener, junior defender Beau Morrison took home the first ACC Defensive Player of the Week honor of the season. Morrison was a key piece on the back line in the Bears' scoreless draw against No. 6 Portland, recording a tremendous goal-line clearance to secure the shutout against the Pilots.

2025 Recap

Cal posted an overall record of 8-8-2 with a 2-5-1 mark in ACC play. The Bears finished 12th in the ACC during the regular season, advancing to the semifinals of the conference tournament before falling to No. 1 seed Virginia.

The two regular-season conference wins came in the ACC opener at Boston College and to close the regular season at home against No. 1-ranked Stanford, preventing the Cardinal from clinching the ACC regular-season title and snapping a 10-game win streak.

The Bears graduated leading goal scorer Luka Lukic, but return Malcom Zalayet, who ranked second in goals and points for Cal last season. Cal also retained key defensive players in Morrison and D'Andre Pickett, with Morrison one of two players to start all 18 games for the Bears during the 2025 season.

Year 3

Cal enters Year 3 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. In its two years in the conference, Cal has pushed all the way to the semifinals of the ACC tournament as both a No. 11 and a No. 12 seed in consecutive years.

Eyes on Flo

Senior transfer Florentino Junior was named to the ACC Preseason Watch List. The two-time NJCAA National Champion and 2024 NJCAA All-American will be a key contributor for the Golden Bears entering the 2026 season.
