Box Score

FARMVILLE, Va. - Senior midfielder Gwen Belomy scored her first two goals of the season to lead California to a 4-1 victory over Longwood on hot Thursday afternoon at the Lancers' Athletics Complex in Farmville, Va. The Golden Bears improved their record to 2-1 and 1-0 in the NorPac Conference, while Longwood fell to 0-3 (0-1 NorPac).

"Gwen was really dynamic and at the right place at the right time," Onstead said. "She did a nice job of controlling the whole field.

"We were certainly better at finishing and we were better at not letting them stay in the game, which was my point to the team and something we learned from the Drexel game. We had a number of chances. It could've been a bigger score. We still need to work on finishing."

Belomy fired a shot that deflected in off of Longwood goalkeeper Erin West for the game's first goal in the fifth minute. Belomy struck again in the 17th minute when West was off her line to give Cal a 2-0 lead.

Longwood's Dani Basye set up teammate Amanda Babineau for a goal in the 26th minute to cut Cal's lead in half at 2-1.

At 33:48, Bears senior defender Carolina Bistue pounced on a rebound off a missed shot to score her first goal of the year and give Cal a 3-1 lead heading into halftime.

In the 52nd minute, Cal senior midfielder Ashley Glosz fired a hard shot that deflected up off of West, and Bears senior midfielder Andrea Lo knocked the ball home for the final goal of the game.

Cal plays again tomorrow against Radford, another NorPac opponent, at 1 p.m. PT also at Longwood's Athletics Complex, where temperatures reached the low 90s and the humidity hovered near 80 percent on Thursday.

"It's tough because it's really hot here," Onstead said. "I tried to do a lot of subbing today. They're going to have to adjust for Radford, who I knew did not play today. It bodes well for preparation for later in the season when we have to play back to back."
