Goalie Doug Brooks is in line to set the school's record for goals-against average. Coming in to the weekend he has an astounding .460 GAA.
Although the Bears were unranked at the beginning of the season, early success has landed them high in the rankings.
Since the beginning of the month, Cal has won both of the tournaments it has entered, the first at Old Dominion University and the second last weekend at St. Mary's in California.
In the St. Mary's tournament, the Bears posted its most impressive win of the season, upsetting then-No. 14 San Diego, 2-1.
In addition to a record-breaking goalkeeper, the Bears have a strong scorer in Ramiro Arredondo.
Arredondo should give the young Crimson backfield problems, as he has scored six goals this year, including the game-winner against San Diego and a hat trick against Michigan State on the road.
In addition to getting Arredondo under control, the Crimson will want to score early against the Bears--they are 5-0 when they score first, and 4-0 when leading at the half.
