Cal Routs Stanford in Battle of The Bay

Bears Hit Program-Record 18 Triples

Win By Third Largest Margin In Series History

BERKELEY – The California women's basketball knocked down a program-record 18 3-pointers, but none were bigger than Marta Suárez's buzzer beater from near midcourt to end the third quarter, in the 83-63 win over Stanford at Haas Pavilion on Friday night. Lulu Twidale tied her career-high with six from beyond the arc and the Golden Bears (10-1, 1-0 ACC) dominated the Cardinal (7-3, 0-1 ACC). The 20-point margin of victory was the third largest in the rivals' long history.   Three Bears had 20-point games in Suárez (21), Twidale (20) and Ioanna Krimili (20). The trio accounted for six of Cal's eight 3-pointers in the third quarter alone. Michelle Onyiah tied her career high with five blocks while Twidale set a career high with seven rebounds, joining Onyiah and Suárez who also pulled down seven boards. The Bears tied their season high with 20 assists on 32 made field goals. Cal held Stanford to a season-low 33.9% from the field.   Suárez converted a 3-point play to give the Bears an early 5-0 lead and hit a triple on Cal's next possession to cap an 8-0 run in the first quarter. The Bears held the Cardinal to just one field goal through the first five minutes of the quarter. Cal went on a three-minute scoring drought until��Kayla Williams hit a jumper to put the Bears up 12-7 with under three minutes to go. Both teams managed just one field goal over the last two minutes of the quarter and Cal took a 14-12 lead going into the second.   Twidale grabbed a rebound off a Stanford miss and took it coast to coast to open the second quarter. She followed up with her first triple of the game on Cal's next possession to put the Bears up 19-14. After the 8:58 mark, Cal went on a scoring drought over the next four minutes while Stanford turned it over four times over that span, but the Bears still held the advantage at 19-16 with just under five minutes to go in the quarter. Twidale knocked down her second triple of the game after the media timeout and Williams and Krimili followed up with consecutive 3-pointers on the next two possessions to fuel a 9-0 run over a 90-second span that put the Bears up 28-16 with just under three minutes to go.  After Cal went up 31-18 on Twidale's third 3-pointer, Stanford hit back-to-back triples to get to within seven points with under a minute left. Krimili was able to drive for a layup as time expired to give the Bears a 33-24 lead going into the break.   Twidale drilled consecutive 3-pointers followed by one from Suárez to open the third quarter and give Cal its biggest lead up to that point at 44-26. The Bears went on to hit five straight triples to increase their lead to 50-28 at the 6:21 mark. Suárez's buzzer beater at the end of the third put Cal up 63-40 going into the final frame. The Cardinal would not get closer than 17 points in the fourth.   "We came out and played Cal basketball and were sold defensively forcing them into tough shots," Cal head coach Charmin Smith said. "We talked about not having to be superhuman and just be the best versions of us and these two [Suárez and Twidale] had excellent performances knocking down shots and getting shots for each other. It was just good Cal basketball."
