BERKELEY, Calif. – Amy Bokker in her nine seasons on The Farm joined an elite group of coaches Monday night as she notched her 100th career win at Stanford with the Cardinal taking a 15-12 victory over Cal. Bokker moves to a perfect 13-0 against the Bears as Stanford heads into the last week of regular season play.
Cal (4-11, 2-4 MPSF) came out strong, scoring first and taking a 4-1 lead before the Cardinal (10-4, 5-1 MPSF) began chipping away at the deficit with Kelsey Murray leading the charge, scoring five goals in the half.
Dillon Schoen and Areta Buness also added to the attack, but the defense was unable to keep the Bears at bay as Cal made the most of its nine shots on goal to head into the break tied 8-8.
Stanford's adjustments in the second half paved the way as the Cardinal came out to score three unanswered goals in five minutes to jump out to an 11-8 lead. Cal put all its resources into shutting down Murray in the half, but Stanford spread the offense with six different Cardinal scoring.
The Cardinal's second-half strength came into play, with Stanford topping Cal in shots, draw controls and turnovers to make it 14 straight wins over the Golden Bears.
Stanford returns home this weekend to close out regular season play hosting USC and San Diego State on Friday and Sunday. Game time for Friday against USC is set for 5 p.m. and will be aired live on Pac-12 Networks at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium.
