Klos Called Game
Junior transfer Alex Klos has had a major influence on the Bears' early season success, scoring the game-winning goal in each of the last three straight matches. She currently leads the ACC in that category and is tied for the most in the nation. She was the lone goal scorer in Cal's 1-0 win over Cal State Fullerton, curling a ball off her left foot from outside the 18-yard box in the 80th minute.
 
Lema Matches Season-High Goal Total
It took all of six matches for Karlie Lema to match her season-high goal total of six, which was set her freshman year. The senior forward currently ranks third in the country in scoring and shares the honor of being the ACC's top goal scorer. She also ranks second in the conference in goals per game (1.0), total points (13), and shots on goal (16). Lema has two braces on the season, two equalizers, one game winner, and now has 21 career goals, a mark that is four short of cracking the program's top 10 scoring list.
 
Second-Half Surge
Over its first six matches Cal did the bulk of its scoring in the second half with 11 of its 14 goals coming in the final 45 minutes. The Bears currently hold an 11-4 second-half goal differential and have yet to be shut out in the period. Six goals were scored in 75th minute or later.
 
McManus Saves Seven In Bear Debut
UCLA graduate transfer Kelly McManus made her first career collegiate start between the posts on Aug. 25 and did not disappoint. The former national champion made a career-high seven saves in the 1-1 tie with Gonzaga, including a number of game-saving plays in the final 20 minutes. McManus earned her first win the very next match as the Bears topped San Francisco 6-1. McManus currently ranks second in the ACC with 4.00 saves per game.
 
Two Bears Named To U20 FIFA Women's World Cup Rosters
Teagan Wy (USA) and Miriam Hils (Germany) have been named to U20 FIFA Women's World Cup rosters. They will join their respective teams in Bogota, Colombia, from Aug. 31-Sept. 22.
 
The latest step in Wy's international career comes after a successful national team camp back in February when the U.S. picked up a pair of 1-0 wins over Colombia. The Golden Bear keeper went wire-to-wire in the second match and picked up a shutout win with three saves.
 
Wy helped the United States qualify for this year's World Cup as a member of the 2023 CONCACAF Women's U20 Championship team that took second place in April 2023. This will be her second World Cup experience as she served as a backup on the U20 team from 2022.
 
Hils, who is originally from Delbrück, Germany, is coming off an impactful freshman season with the Bears in which she started in 16 matches as a defender. This will be her second trip to the U20 FIFA Women's World Cup after starting and going the distance in all three of Germany's matches in 2022.
 
Wy Earns ACC Preseason Honors
Just hours after being named to the world cup roster, Wy became the first Bear to be named to the Preseason All-ACC team. She was the sole goalkeeper selected to the team and Cal was one of just seven teams in the 17-school conference to be represented. Last year, Wy started in all 19 matches as a sophomore and tallied 86 saves, good for the second most both in program history and among Pac-12 goalkeepers that season. Her six shutouts and .796 save percentage earned her Third-Team All-Pac-12 honors.
 
Back In Camp
This season Cal returns 25 Bears from the 2023 squad, including eight starters. Three transfers from prominent programs and four true freshmen join the program. Check out Back In Camp: Women's Soccer for more in-depth information.
