Philadelphia, PA - The University of California handed St. Joseph's University its first loss of the season in women's lacrosse action on Sunday afternoon.

Shannon Hungate (Lansdale, PA/North Penn) tallied three times for the Hawks (3-1) while Carley Preble netted four goals for the Bears.

California took an early 2-0 lead but the Hawks responded with two goals by freshman Amie Schmoltze (Hatboro, PA/Upper Moreland) to tie the game with 22:36 left in the first half. California would then score five of the next six goals to take a 7-3 advantage at the half.

The Hawks found their offense in the second half, scoring twice in the first six minutes to cut the Bears lead to three at 8-5. California (6-3) responded scoring the next two goals to extend their lead to 10-5 with 18 minutes left in regulation. SJU once again tried to make a comeback, scoring twice in a three-minute span to cut the lead to 10-7 at the 11:00 mark. The Bears proved to be too strong as they scored four goals in the last 10 minutes to seal the victory.

California goalie Eden Coelho was the thorn in the Hawks side as she turned back 19 shots. SJU's Lauren Bradley (Sewell, NJ/Washingtown Twp.) had seven saves in the loss.
