BERKELEY–You would be hard pressed to find two different opponents and two more different outcomes in terms of how Cal looked in the two games last week comparing the games with Incarnate Word and St. Mary’s. On Wednesday they looked like they just got by Incarnate Word  a team that they should have beat by larger margin and if the Bears are able to beat a team like St. Mary’s this could be something they can build on for this season.

The Bears held a players only meeting Wednesday night after the Incarnate Word game, the players talked about what they needed to do to compete and compete at the level and the need to compete for 40 minutes. Then they came out on Saturday and showed everybody that they were paying attention because they competed for 40 minutes.
