Coming off of the heels of its first home victory, 1-0, against USF, the Cal women's soccer team was looking to ride the momentum of success into Thursday, Sept. 9 at Edwards Stadium. Instead, the Bears will have to wait until Sunday, Sept. 12, as their scheduled game against Sacramento State on Thursday at 4 p.m. has been canceled.

Based on orders from UC Berkeley and local health authorities, the Bears will no longer host the Hornets in what was expected to be a favorable matchup for the blue and gold. With an overall record of 3-0-2, Cal currently sits at the No. 5 spot in Pac-12 women's soccer standings. Meanwhile, the Hornets hold an overall record of 1-3-1 after losing two of their last three games.

Whether the game will be rescheduled to a later date has yet to be determined. Nevertheless, Cal should remain optimistic. The upcoming match against No. 8 Santa Clara on Sunday may be an opportune chance for the Bears to prove that they're just as competitive as any top 25 team.

So we still don't know why? If they pulled this for a football game, it would be disastrous.

Looks like due to Covid issues, Men's match later that same day was moved from Berkeley to San Jose and now the match at Santa Clara scheduled for today is canceled

Didn't everybody get vaccinated? Why is someone always dropping the ball in the CAL Ad?

Pretty sure the campus policy is everyone has to be vaccinated to be on campus save for medical/religious exemptions so not sure where you think it's an oversight on the part of the AD.

Now if there are exempted players who didn't follow protocols then that would be a whole other thing…also, there are known breakthrough cases.
