BERKELEY – With a trip to the postseason possibly on the line, the California men's soccer team travels to The Farm to battle No. 22 Stanford for game two of the Big Clásico on Saturday at 5 p.m. PT in the regular-season finale.
 
In the first meeting of the season between the rivals, the Golden Bears 7-5-5 (3-3-3 Pac-12) tied the Cardinal, 1-1, on Oct. 29 in Berkeley. In the 53rd minute, Cal senior midfielder Evan Davila dribbled nearly half the field before eluding a defender at the top of the box and blasting the ball past Stanford goalkeeper Rowan Schnebly for what was arguably Cal's top goal of the season. Jackson Kiil equalized for the Cardinal in the 76th minute.

Bears Tie UCLA, Beat SDSU In Last Regular-Season Home Games
Cal is unbeaten over its last three games, all at home, starting with the Oct. 29 draw with Stanford and continuing through a 1-1 tie with UCLA on Nov. 2 and a 1-0 win over San Diego State on Sunday.
 
Against the Bruins, Cal played much of the game a man down when Giancarlo Mota was shown a red card in the 45th minute. But the Bears stunned UCLA in the 60th minute when Santiago Hopkins, a junior right back, lofted what looked like a cross from the flank that nestled into the far corner of the Bruins' goal and gave Cal a 1-0 lead. Along with his first career goal, Hopkins collected his first career shot on the play. In the 81st minute, Andre Ochoa scored for UCLA, and the teams settled for the 1-1 draw.
 
On Sunday against SDSU, with less than 10 seconds left in the first half, Cal's Evan Davila sent a pass to Fernando Lara on the flank, and Lara crossed the ball into the box. An unmarked Adrian Guzman corralled the ball and fired past SDSU goalkeeper Logan Erb for his second goal and second game-winning goal of the season. Goalkeeper Connor Lambe made five saves to preserve the shutout and the victory.
