BERKELEY, Calif. – Playing on the road for the first time this season, No. 24 Santa Clara women's soccer dropped a tight game at Cal 2-1 on Sunday afternoon.
The Broncos jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first half but the Bears scored two in the second, including one in the closing minutes to steal a victory.
Cal (2-0) was awarded a penalty shot after an attacker was taken down in the box in the 89th minute. Kelly Fitzgerald took the free kick and converted low and just inside the left post for the game-winner.
