Lema For Three
Karlie Lema couldn’t ask for a better start to her senior season after scoring three goals during opening week. After falling behind UCSD 1-0 in the season opener, Lema scored both the equalizer and the game winner in the second half to earn her second career brace. With her team down 2-0 on the road at then-No. 22 Santa Clara she added her third goal via a penalty kick in the 84th minute that kept the Bears’ chances alive. She is one goal away from tying her season total from last year.

Playing from behind in both matches the Bears outshot their opponents 11-6 in the final 45 minutes and netted three goals. Cal allowed three first half goals but none of them were scored in the run of the play.
