Cardinal Lacrosse Upends California, 10-4

April 12, 2002

Stanford, Calif. - Stanford (5-6) upended cross-bay rival California tonight at Maloney Field, 10-4. The Cardinal rattled off a five-goal run to start the game and never lost control of the game. The Golden Bears fought back to a 6-3 score in the second half, but Stanford tacked on four more goals to secure the victory.

The Cardinal opened the night with a goal at 20 seconds by freshman Claire Calzonetti on an assist by freshman Kelsey Twist. Calzonetti added another goal late in the second half to give her ten on the season. At 1:15, her twin sister Julia Calzonetti notched another score for the Cardinal.

At 7:57 freshman Nina Pantano scored the first of her three goals on a pass from senior Liz Britt - who then rallied off a goal at 15:31. Pantano followed with her second goal at 20:06 to put Stanford up 5-0.

California then chalked up its only point in the half on a shot from sophomore Emily Edwards at 24:09, but Claire Calzonetti completed her hat trick at 29:28.

The Golden Bears rallied in the second half with goals by Carley Preble, Julianne Wu and Edwards - but the Cardinal stepped up with a free position goal by freshman Ali Salatti, Twist's second of the night, and the third goal for Claire Calzonetti and Pantano.

Stanford goalkeeper junior Virginia Solomon notched eight saves and Cal keeper Eden Coelho recorded nine saves.
