\nIt was Beso Akhvlediani<\/a> show in the first game of the day as the reigning second team All-American paced all players with seven goals including four that came in the first quarter that gave Cal a lead that it would never relinquish. The Georgian also added three assists and four steals. The Bears led 10-5 heading into the final period and finished strong winning the fourth quarter 6-2 with five different scorers finding the net. Goalkeeper Riley Clansen<\/a> earned another start in the cage and chipped in four saves, two assists, and a steal.

\nJust as they did against the Crimson, the Bears opened their battle with the Spartans with a five-goal first quarter to take an early lead. Akhvlediani and Patrik Kolak<\/a> scored a pair in the opening minute and from there on out Cal led by at least a goal for the rest of the game. Loui Schuler<\/a> led the team with four goals and added a trio of assists and a steal. Clansen once again went the distance and for the second time this season collected double-digit saves recording 11, which included four power-play stops and a penalty save.

\nThe Bears will conclude the weekend and their season-opening road stint with a pair of exhibitions tomorrow facing Cuesta College at 8 a.m. and American River at 11 a.m. Live streaming and scoring will not be available for either contest.
