BERKELEY, Calif. — Saint Mary's and their East Bay rival Cal went toe-to-toe Saturday night in exhibition action with the match eventually ending in a 1-1 draw. SMC will finish exhibition play 0-1-1 this season after dropping an earlier contest this week at Stanford.
The Gaels got on the board first as Jake Rudel, last season's team leader in goals, beat the Cal keeper on a one-on-one in the 18th minute of play. Rudel finished the match with two shots, both on goal, in 63 minutes of action.
Saint Mary's held their lead heading into the second half but the Golden Bears would answer just minutes into the final period as Alonzo Del Mundo scored the equalizer in the 52nd minute on a pass from Shinya Kadono.
