STANFORD - Stanford scored early and often, defeating the California women's lacrosse team, 21-5, Saturday afternoon from Cagan Stadium on the Stanford campus. The Golden Bears fell to 4-5, 0-3 on the season. 

Nikki Zaccaro was responsible for three of the five Cal goals, garnering two goals and an assist. Caroline Corzel, Ashley Ward and Lauren Hickman registered the other three goals for the Bears, with Meredith Haggerty, Chloe Landry, Susie Ropp and Eliza Christman tallying assists. 

Haggerty paced the Bears with seven draws, while Elizabeth Koehler scooped up five draws and four ground balls. Haggerty also caused a turnover, which gave her 53 for her career and tied her for fifth all-time in school history. She also placed her name on the school's career list for draw controls now with 111 in her career, which ranks seventh in school history and one shy of sixth. Chloe Landry is fifth on that list with 117.

In over 37 minutes of work in goal, Makayla Ward made eight saves. 

Cal returns to Berkeley six of the final eight games of the regular season. The Bears face No. 12 USC on Friday, March 23, at 5 p.m. from California Memorial Stadium.
