BERKELEY - The California men's soccer team battled seventh-ranked in a relatively even match, but the Golden Bears couldn't overcome a 30th-minute Huskies' goal and eventually lost, 1-0, on Sunday at Edwards Stadium in a game broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks.

The Bears' outshot UW, 12-11, and had an 8-2 advantage on corner kicks. But at 29:18, Cal goalkeeper Drake Callender saved a close-range shot by Joey Parish and then made another save on a shot in the box by UW's Christian Soto. The Bears couldn't clear the ball, and the Huskies finally beat Callender when Blake Bodily scored.
 
The Bears' last best chance to score came at 88:05, when midfielder Francisco Perez hit a curving shot in front of goal that UW keeper Sam Fowler parried away.

"It was a hard-fought game both ways," Cal head coach Kevin Grimes said. "Give them credit for scoring the goal. We just couldn't find the back of the net today. We had a high shot count, a high corner-kick count, but it just didn't happen for us. It's time to move on to the next one."

Cal's record now stands at 5-3-1 overall and 1-2-0 in the Pac-12 Conference. UW has a 10-1-0 record (4-0-0 Pac-12).
 
The Bears continue Pac-12 play when they travel to San Diego State for a game on Thursday at 7 p.m. and to UCLA for a game on Oct. 13 at 4 p.m., with the game against the Bruins televised on the Pac-12 Networks.
