CAMBRIDGE, MA - Cal came back from a 2-1 loss to Harvard yesterday to win a close one Friday night as the Bears defeated Rhode Island in stroke-play after a fruitless endeavor to finish the game in two extra periods.

Nora Feddersen scored the lone regulation goal for the Bears to bring her season total to three.

After the two overtime sessions, the first set of stroke play failed to determine the winner forcing the teams to go to a second set. Cal finally came up on top after playing over 100 minutes of game time.

The Bears were put in a position to win with the help of a familiar face in senior goalkeeper Sarah Hoehn. Hoehn who had an 87.1% save percentage to lead the nation last year, stepped up and made a big contribution for Cal.

"Sarah Hoehn had an amazing game," said assistant coach Jennifer Vinnitti. "She was stellar, she made some spectacular saves."

Cal will certainly need another great performance from Hoehn come Sunday afternoon as the Bears face No. 16 Boston University at 1 p.m.

"Its going to be a good game," said Vinnitti. "They lost a lot of players (from last year) and so did we. It'll be pretty even."
