The Cal women's lacrosse tilt last night against Lafayette was in many respects a very sloppy matter.
With the first half of play occurring an incessant downpour, the artificial turf on Witter Rugby Field collected water, the pace of play slowed and simple ball mechanics like scooping ground balls became more difficult.
Before the start of the game, one of Cal's players noted that "weather can be the great equalizer, but it won't be today." Her claim held true as the Bears played impressively and took control of the game early, eventually dropping the Leopards 13-10.
Despite the conditions, we were on hand with Bear Blog photographer James Besser to catch Cal in action. Check out those photos below.
