STANFORD - The No. 5 Cal women's water polo team shook up collegiate water polo Sunday afternoon, sending a message it can play with any team in the country after a 5-2 victory over No. 1 Stanford in the championship game of the Stanford Invitational.
The win broke the Cardinal's 32-game home winning streak and gave the Bears (11-1) a win over the No. 1 team in the country for the second consecutive season. Cal defeated No. 1 Stanford in the semifinals of last year's MPSF Championships.
The Bears also beat No. 8 UC Davis 6-3 in bracket play Sunday morning.
