The Bears return home from the desert lands battle with the Arizona State Sun Devils this Halloween weekend picking up another win to secure their second place standing. Going into the weekend, the Bears faced the daunting difference in the numbers of skaters between the two clubs. Cal had 9 skaters and 2 goalies pitted against staggering 19 skaters and 2 goalies rostered for the weekend for ASU.

The Bears started the weekend with a good show and kept the game within close grasp throughout the first two periods. Goalie, Peter Tartaglia, faced a barrage of shots and kept the Bears in a good position to come back from a 3-2 deficit after two periods. Unfortunately, the Bears were unable to overcome the differential and obtain a win.

Halloween night, the Bears came back with a strong game on both ends of the ice. Goaltender Mathew Bloomfield was resilient the entire night with a save percentage of 98%! Despite the Bears lack of numbers, they were able to put up a superb showing and mount a victory in a tough fought contest in Sun Devils territory, tacking on another ‘W’ to the win column.
