Spieker Aquatics Complex - Berkeley, Calif.
BERKELEY - The No. 4 Cal's women's water polo team begins the home portion of it he 2013 schedule with a match under the lights Saturday against No. 11 Michigan at the Spieker Aquatics Complex. The Bears opened the season with a 14-4 win last Saturday at Pacific. Sophomore Tiera Schroeder led Cal with three goals. The Bears were a perfect 8-0 last year at Spieker Pool and have lost just two home matches over the past three years.
Csikos To Provide Boost
The Bears are getting a big injection of scoring this season with the return of senior Emily Csikos, a three-time All-American who didn't play in 2012 to compete with the Canadian National Team. Csikos, who scored 10 goals in five matches for Canada during last year's Olympic Qualification Tournament, scored a goal in the season-opening win over Pacific and now has 168 goals in her Cal career. She is just 54 goals shy of Cal all-time leading scorer Colette Glinkowski. Csikos was an honorable mention All-American as a freshman in 2009 and a first team All-American in 2010 and 2011. Csikos scored 69 goals in 2010, the fifth-best mark all-time at Cal. In 2011, she was a finalist for the Peter J. Cutino Award, given to the top player in the country.
Big-Time Breda
With Csikos out last season, senior Breda Vosters carried the scoring load. She led the Bears in goals for the second straight year, tallying 49 in 25 matches and being named a first team All-American. Vosters scored 63 goals in 2011, the ninth-best mark ever at Cal, and was a third team American. She scored two goals during Saturday's win over Pacific.
