#8 Cal Wins Opening Weekend

Bears Are Flawless in Dispatching Four Opponents

BERKELEY – The No. 8 ranked California beach volleyball team closed out its opening weekend at the Clark Kerr Sand Courts with straight wins, beating all four opponents by a score of 5-0. In fact, with their victories over Saint Mary's, Santa Clara, American River and San Jose State they only dropped a single set.

"It was really exciting being able to open at home this year in front of our fans and supporters," Cal head coach Meagan Owusu said. "It was fun to see a bunch of new players in the lineup. It's a new squad, so we're just growing and getting to know the strengths that this specific group has and rolling with that."

Cal 5, Saint Mary's 0 The Golden Bears (4-0) got out to a fast start to the day as their first two pairs flew through their opening sets. Sophomore Portia Sherman and junior Ella Dreibholz started with a 21-11 win. After falling behind 13-8 in set two, they quickly rallied and pulled away late to take it 21-17.

Across the way, junior Ella Sears and freshman Kendall Peters cruised to a 21-12 opening-set victory before dropping set two 24-22. They broke a 9-9 tie in the decisive third set with three straight points, closing out the Bears' first nailbiter of the season with a 15-12 win.

Kicking off the next set of matches, sophomore duo Marilu Pally and Gia Fisher rallied from five points down in set one and never looked back, claiming a 21-17, 21-9 victory. Senior Brooke Buchner and graduate student Lara Boos broke out of a pair of close sets, holding off a pair of SMU (1-1) comeback attempts in a 21-19, 21-16 sweep.

The No. 1 pair of Emma Donley and Alexandria Young-Gomez finished things off with a dominant 21-10, 21-13 win in the final match against the Gaels.

California Governor Gavin Newsom Claims He Played College Baseball, But Did He?

The verdict? Koseff writes:

[…] Newsom never played an official game for Santa Clara University; he was a junior varsity recruit who played only during the fall tryouts his freshman and sophomore years, then left the baseball program before the regular season began. He does not appear on the Broncos’ all-time roster or in media guides published by the athletic department to preview the upcoming season. A deeper look at his recruitment also reveals that Newsom’s admission to Santa Clara University — like so many of his formative opportunities — was substantially boosted by friends and acquaintances of his father, William Newsom, a San Francisco judge and financial adviser to the Gettys, the wealthy oil family. One associate connected Newsom to the baseball program when he was in high school, while his father’s best friend, then a member of the university’s board of regents, wrote him a letter of recommendation. Mike Cummins, the assistant coach at Santa Clara while Newsom was there, said the governor has “embellished his baseball career a little bit at times.”

Bears Beat Broncos 71-56

Cal Defense Plays Key Role In The Win

BERKELEY – On a night when shots weren't falling in the first half, the Cal women's basketball team (4-0) put on an impressive defensive display, forcing Santa Clara (4-1) into 18 turnovers to secure a 71-56 win at Haas Pavilion Tuesday night. Marta Suárez continued to impress in her first season in a Bear uniform posting career-highs of 15 points and five steals, while Leilani McIntosh contributed four steals and added eight assists. McIntosh is now just two assists away from moving into the eighth spot on Cal's all-time career assists list (395). McKayla Williams scored a game-high 16 points while leading the team in rebounds for the second consecutive game with eight.

The Broncos, previously undefeated with wins over premier opponents including Oregon and Gonzaga, were led by Tess Heal's 16 points and Marya Hudgins' 13 rebounds. The Broncos still sit atop the West Coast Conference standings and a strong performance against them was a great win that will help the Golden Bears' resume down the road for the NCAA Tournament. "We talked about how we needed to pick up the intensity on the defensive end," Cal head coach Charmin Smith said. "When the shots aren't falling you have to create some offense off of our defense. Marta had five steals, Leilani had four and KK [McKayla] was doing a great job pressuring the ball and those are the things that can get you going offensively." In the first half, the Bears shot just 39.5 percent from the field and were 1-of-14 from beyond the arc but were able to turn the Broncos over 10 times (eight in the first quarter) to keep them in the game. After Santa Clara took a five-point lead with under three minutes to go in the half, Cal got a spark from Williams who scored on back-to-back layups to help the Bears finish the second quarter 6-of-10 from the field and go into the break with just a one-point deficit at 33-32. Cal's offense got it going in the second half opening the third quarter with back-to-back 3-pointers from Kemery Martín and Williams to spark an 8-2 run. The defense continued to fluster Santa Clara, holding the Broncos scoreless for a three-minute stretch in the quarter, allowing the Bears to open a 10-point lead midway through. The Broncos cut the lead to just five points with eight minutes to go in the fourth quarter before Ioanna Krimili and McIntosh hit on back-to-back layups. A Krimili step-back jumper with 3:41 to go gave Cal a 64-52 lead and allowed the Bears to coast to the victory.

[ad_1] SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Brock Purdy and Russell Wilson led their teams to field goals on their only drives of the game and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Denver Broncos 21-20 on Saturday night on a field goal by rookie Jake Moody on the final play. Moody, drafted in the third round, bounced back after missing two field goals last week and an extra point earlier in the game to convert the 32-yarder after Trey Lance drove the Niners down the field in the closing minutes. Lance overcame an interception on his first drive to throw a 22-yard TD pass to Cameron Latu and then two big passes to Ronnie Bell to set up the winning kick. Lance finished 12 for 18 for 173 yards. Purdy got his first game action since injuring his elbow in San Francisco’s NFC title game loss at Philadelphia. Purdy underwent surgery March 10 and made it back for training camp but didn’t play in the preseason opener at Las Vegas. He looked good against the Broncos, throwing mostly short passes in his brief action. He went 4 for 5 for 65 yards — thanks in part to Deebo Samuel turning two short passes into long gains — but San Francisco (1-1) settled for a field goal after a sack in the red zone stalled the drive. Wilson then came on and efficiently moved the Broncos (0-2) down the field on a 13-play drive that also ended in a field goal. After taking until his fourth drive last week to lead Denver to a score on a TD pass, Wilson looked sharper against a San Francisco defense that had most of its starters outside of holding out star edge rusher Nick Bosa. Wilson completed 3 of 6 passes for 24 yards and also ran three times for 25 yards before turning the game over to Jarrett Stidham. While Purdy has the starting spot solidified in San Francisco, Sam Darnold and Lance are battling to be the backups. Darnold came in the game first and completed 11 of 14 passes for 109 yards. He had one pass intercepted that deflected off rookie receiver Ronnie Bell and ended his night with an 11-yard TD pass to undrafted rookie fullback Jack Colletto. Back in action Broncos running back Javonte Williams got the start in his first game action since going down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 last year. Williams dropped a screen pass on his first snap but kept busy after that. He had 3 carries for 12 yards and four catches for 18 yards in two drives. Injury report The 49ers lost two players in the first half to shoulder injuries with receiver Danny Gray leaving after getting hurt on the opening kick return and defensive lineman Kerry Hyder Jr. leaving in the second quarter. Broncos WR Jalen Virgil left the game with a knee injury after getting hurt on a 50-yard catch on the final play of the first half. Virgil got tackled at the 1 and the clock ran out as Jarrett Stidham spiked the ball to try to set up a final play. Close Modal Suggest a Correction Suggest a Correction [ad_2]
