Berkeley, Calif. ? Freshman midfielder Vail Horn had four of her career-high five goals in the opening half to lead California to a 14-9 victory over UAlbany in a non-league women's lacrosse game on Friday, Feb. 20 at Memorial Stadium.
California (2-1) led 6-5 in the first half, but then gained control with four unanswered to end the period. Horn tallied back-to-back goals, the first off a free-position opportunity and the second from Ghillie Little's feed. The Golden Bears scored twice in the final 46 seconds before the intermission. Little, a senior midfielder, netted her second goal of the game, before Sam Price connected as the horn sounded.
The Golden Bears, who were coming off a 19-7 loss to third-ranked Duke five days ago, kept a working five-to-six goal margin in the final period. UAlbany's Kayla Best scored an unassisted goal midway through the half, but Price answered nearly three minutes later for a 13-7 advantage. Price, a senior attacker, finished with four goals, the second time she has accomplished that feat this season.
In the first half, California jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the opening five minutes, but Best and sophomore Mel Rorie netted consecutive shots to cut into the deficit. Horn later gave her team a 6-4 cushion with 11:30 remaining in the half. UAlbany's Jodi Battaglia answered back 41 seconds later with her fifth of the season.
Goalkeeper Morgan Dyson had eight saves for the Golden Bears, who finished 9-9 last season as a member of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. Little had two goals and two assists, while first-team all-conference midfielder Alyse Kennedy scored once and assisted on another.
UAlbany's Best had three of her season-high four goals in the first half. She extended her goal-scoring streak to 33 consecutive games. Christine Grueniger added a pair of goals. The Great Danes, who fell to No. 17 Stanford two days, wrapped up their three-game California road trip.
