No. 1 North Carolina Wins In Berkeley

Courtney Wong Scores A Pair Of Goals For Bears In 20-3 Defeat

BERKELEY - The California lacrosse team (4-6, 1-4 ACC) was defeated 20-3 by the nation's top-ranked team and defending national champion North Carolina (8-0, 6-0 ACC) in an Atlantic Coast Conference game on Thursday at California Memorial Stadium. The Tar Heels set a school record with their 30th straight victory that is also the nation's longest current win streak and the sixth-longest in the sport's history.

North Carolina scored all 11 of the game's goals in the opening period and led 13-0 before Katie McMullen got the Golden Bears on the board when she powered her way through a host of North Carolina defenders and found the back of the net for an unassisted goal with 5:20 to go in the second period.

North Carolina would score one more goal before halftime to take a 14-1 lead at the intermission and then all four of the game's third-period goals to extend its advantage to 18-1 heading into the final 15 minutes.

Cal's season points leader Courtney Wong was able to pick a pair of goals in the final period with McMullen registering an assist on the second one before UNC wrapped up the game's scoring with the final two goals.

Chloe Rand entered the contest at goalkeeper for Cal with the Bears trailing 11-0 at the end of the first quarter and posted a career-high-tying 10 saves, while limiting North Carolina to only nine more goals the rest of the way in a 45:00 outing that tied for the second-longest of her career.

Addison Pattillo led 11 North Carolina goal scorers with five, while Kiley Mottice (3 goals, 1 assist), Eliza Osburn (3 goals, 1 assist) and Chloe Humphrey (2 goals, 2 assists) each had four points and multiple-goal contests. Darcy Felter, Caroline Godine, Kaleigh Harden, Eva Ingrilli, Kate Levy, Payton Magday and Julia O'Connor added one goal apiece with Felter also picking up an assist.

Cal concludes its season-long four-game homestand on Monday with a nonconference contest against Marist (1-5). First draw is at 3 pm PT and the contest can be watched live on ACCNX/ESPN+.
