LONG BEACH — The No. 4 California women’s water polo team took control in the second period of play and cruised to an 11-6 win at No. 8 Long Beach State in a nonconference game today. The Golden Bears improve to 13-3 overall with the win.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cal responded to a 2-0 deficit with a five-goal rally. Sparked by a Julia Bonaguidi<\/a> 5-meter penalty late in the first, the Bears turned up the defense and converted four second-frame goals while silencing the Beach. Feline Voordouw<\/a> nabbed a steal that sent Cal off on the attack, and Despoina Drakotou<\/a> found Holly Dunn<\/a> for an equalizer. Vourdouw\u00a0later earned a 6-on-5 for the Bears, and finished it off herself off a feed from Dunn. Then it was Eszter Varro getting the steal and then scoring from a counterattack feed from Talia Fonseca<\/a> for a 4-2 Bear advantage at 3:08. A minute later, Fonseca found Abbi Magee<\/a> for another Cal strike, and it was 5-2 Bears for halftime.<\/p>\n The Beach battled back and made it a one-goal game again with early goals in the third, only to see Cal tally two more. Abbi Magee<\/a> punched up her third goal of the day on a 7-on-6 score on the final possession of the third, and Cal was up 8-5 entering the fourth. Drakotou, Dunn and Varro all got to the back of the net in the final stretch, securing an 11-6 win for the Bears on the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n #4 Cal 11, #8 Long Beach State 6 SCORING: SAVES:\u00a0Talia Fonseca<\/a> (CAL) 6, Synytsia (LBSU) 13.<\/p>\n NEXT:\u00a0Cal now heads to Los Angeles for an MPSF meeting against No. 1 USC at 12 p.m. next Saturday (March 28) at Uytengsu Aquatics Center.<\/p>\n NOTABLE: STAY POSTED<\/p>\n For more coverage of Cal women’s water polo, follow the Bears on X (@calwwpolo<\/a>), Instagram (@calwwpolo<\/a>) and Facebook (@calwwpolo<\/a>).
