Huskies Drop Pac-12 Opener to Cal
September 22, 2023 | Women's Soccer
SEATTLE โ A late goal in the first half proved to be the difference between Washington (5-2-2, 0-1-0) and Cal (4-3-2, 1-0-0) Friday night at Husky Soccer Stadium.
ย
The loss snaps Washington's unbeaten streak at five matches.
ย
With little separating the two sides throughout the first half, Cal struck in the 39th minute. Collecting a short pass off a free kick, Mia Fontana created a yard of space on her left and placed her shot just inside the post to put the Golden Bears 1-0.
ย
The Huskies came out of the halftime break on the front foot, chasing the equalizer. The Huskies would go on to double up Cal on shots in the half, 6-3.
ย
Perhaps the best chance to tie for the Dawgs came in the 64th minute when Kalea Eichenberger got on the end of a header in the middle of the 18. However, the sophomore's attempt was too close to the keeper.
ย
A few minutes later, Radisson Banks tested the keeper on her right. Avery Nguyen charged hard for the rebound but the keeper was able to collect to deny the opportunity.
ย
The Golden Bears were able to salt away the remaining minutes to close out the affair on a brisk night in Seattle.
