BERKELEY - California begins a three-game road trip to close out the regular season, starting with Oregon on Friday, April 12, at 5 p.m. and No. 22 Colorado on Sunday, April 14, at 2 p.m. The matchup against the Buffaloes can be seen live on the Pac-12 Networks. 

Before last week's bye week, the Golden Bears sent their seniors out in style with a 17-8 victory over Arizona State on Senior Day on March 31, capping a week that started with a 12-11 comeback overtime win over ASU.    

The last time Cal beat a ranked team was in 2008 when the Bears beat then-No. 19 Oregon, 12-8, in Eugene, Ore. This will be Cal's fourth meeting overall against a ranked foe in 2019. 

Kirsten Swanson paces Cal in scoring this year with 39 points (31 goals, eight assists). Swanson paced Cal with six points (5G, 1A) in the win over ASU on March 31. Caroline Corzel is second on the team in points (34) and goals (29). Swanson and Corzel have each scored at least one goal in all but one game this season. Swanson ranks sixth in the Pac-12 in goals, while Corzel is second in the conference in shots per game (7.07). They are two of 13 Bears to have at least one goal this season and two of six to boast at least 12 on the year.      

Nikki Zaccaro paces Cal with 15 assists this season that ranks fourth in the Pac-12. After not securing a point through the first four games this season, Zaccaro got going, including a season-best six points vs. George Washington on March 1. 

Eliza Christman leads the Bears in draws with 65 on the year, which ranks third in the Pac-12 individual rankings and fourth in school single-season history, 11 shy of the school single-season record. She set a career-high of eight earlier this year vs. Denver, as well as seven in the Tempe meeting vs. ASU. Her efforts helped Cal to its Pac-12 ranking of second in draws.    

Also in the Pac-12 rankings, Jenny Wilkens ranks second in ground balls with 42 on the season, which ranks tied for sixth in school single-season history. Wilkens also boasts 161 ground balls for her career, which ranks second all-time at Cal, one shy of first.   

Cal wraps up the regular season next week at Stanford on Friday, April 19, at 5 p.m. on The Farm.
