CAL HOSTS COLORADO LOOKING TO EXTEND WIN STREAKS
— Cal has won back-to-back contests for the first time since 2020 and will be looking for a third straight victory for the first time since 2019 when it hosts Colorado on Sunday, as well as its first back-to-back Pac-12 wins ever.
— Colorado holds an 11-2 advantage in the all-time series between the Bears and the Buffaloes that began in 2014 and has won each of the last 11 meetings between the teams, most recently when Colorado handed Cal a 20-3 loss the last time the teams played on March 19 in Boulder, Colo.
— The Buffaloes have also won five straight in Berkeley, including a 17-9 decision the last time the teams played at California Memorial Stadium in 2022.
— Cal's two wins in the series came in the first two-ever meetings between the teams, including a 12-10 win in Berkeley in 2015.
— Today is Cal's Title IX dedication game as part of Cal Athletics' year-long celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Title IX and retired UC Berkeley Professor of Anthropology Meg Conkey will be honored during a halftime ceremony. Named as one of the "50 Most Important Women in Science," Conkey currently serves as the co-chair of the University's "Gender, Equity, and Diversity" committee and is the Faculty Fellow for Cal lacrosse.
— The weather forecast for Sunday in Berkeley is calling for mostly sunny skies, a temperature of 66 degrees, and winds out of the west and northwest at 11 miles per hour for the 1 p.m. first draw.

LAST TIME OUT: DRULLINGER SAVES VICTORY OVER OREGON
— Riley Drullinger saved Cal's dramatic 14-13 victory over Oregon on Friday when she turned back a free position shot by Katie Collins with four seconds remaining.
— Drullinger finished with 18 saves on 40 shots by the Ducks to surpass her career high of 14 that she had recorded on four previous occasions.
— The offense was led by Quinnlyn Mason and Amanda Morse with Mason scoring a career-high five goals and Morse picking up a career-high six points on four goals and two assists.
— Cal's victory was its third in a row against Oregon and marked the first time the Bears have won three straight against the same Pac-12 opponent since sweeping three games against Arizona State in 2019.

OTHER NOTABLES
— Sunday's game against Colorado is the second in a stretch of up to as many as six consecutive Cal contests in Berkeley that started with Friday's win against Oregon and will continue with Senior Day against Stanford (April 28) to conclude Cal's regular season before the Bears host the Pac-12 Championship for the first time (May 3-6).
— Cal is currently in the fifth-seeded position for the Pac-12 Championship and would need victories in each of its final two games, as well as an Arizona State loss to USC at home in its regular-season finale, to move past the Sun Devils into fourth. One more Cal win or Oregon loss (at Stanford, at Colorado) would assure the Bears of finishing ahead of the current sixth-seeded Ducks.
— Cal's five wins in 2023 are its most since going 7-12 in 2019.
— Kennedy Goss became Cal's all-time draw controls leader April 15 at UC Davis and now has 188 career draw controls. Goss is 12 draw controls shy of the school's single-season record of 81 set by Eliza Christman in 2019 and needs 14 more to match her own career-high of 80 in 2022.
— Cal is 5-0 when scoring at least 13 goals and is averaging 15.5 goals per game in its last two contests after averaging just 9.3 in its first 13 games.
— Six Cal players have started all 14 games this season (Kennedy Goss, Maya Lawliss, Kennedy Mason, Quinnlyn Mason, Amanda Morse, Kacie Riggs).
— Lawliss became the first Cal player to be named Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week when the league's first weekly honors of 2003 were announced on Feb. 14.
— Head coach Jennifer Wong picked up her first win at Cal in the season opener and her Cal debut Feb. 10 at Lindenwood, got her second and first home victory March 9 against Howard, and her third and first Pac-12 win March 17 at Oregon.
— Cal is celebrating its 25th season of lacrosse in 2023, with the program first gaining intercollegiate status in 1999 as a member of the Western Women's Lacrosse League.
