Championship Play Results

FIRST-PLACE GAME

California 0 1 0 2= 3 USC 0 0 1 1= 2

Cal: Melanie von Hartitzsch 2, Colette Glinkowski USC: Sandra Milicev, Lisa Saenz. Saves: Cal- Fana Fuqua 8, USC- Bernice Orwig 11.

Notes: The third-ranked Cal Bears upset the top-ranked USC Trojans, taking home the first place MPSF championship honors. The Bears were ahead 1-0 at halftime but Lisa Saenz's goal in the third quarter tied the score at 1-1. The Trojans fired in another goal with 3:56 left in the fourth quarter but the Bears answered with a goal soon after. Bear senior Melanie von Hartitzsch notched her second goal of the game with 25 seconds left on the clock to put the score at 3-2 with the Bears on top. California finally closed in on the victory after USC turned the ball over in the last 15 seconds of the game. With today's win, Cal now owns a 2-1 season record over the Trojans. Last year, the Bears took home a third place championship at the MPSF Tournament.

THIRD-PLACE GAME

Notes: In an action-packed game that featured four ties and two lead changes, the three-time defending national champion UCLA Bruins emerged as the third place champions of the 1999 MPSF Tournament. UCLA's stifling defense was led by junior goalkeeper Erin Golaboski who grabbed 11 saves. Today's matchup was the third meeting between UCLA and Stanford this season and the first win for the Bruins. Last year, UCLA defeated Stanford 6- 4 in the first place MPSF Championship match.

With the win, No. 7 Hawai'i took home fifth-place tournament honors. The Rainbow Wahine now own a 2-1 season advantage over the Aztecs. Last year was the inaugural year for Hawai'i in the MPSF. The Rainbows finished seventh at the MPSF tournament last year.
