BERKELEY – Before its official home opener on Saturday, California (19-9, 1-2 Pac-12) will take a quick trip to Sacramento State for a midweek bout.
 
The Golden Bears hold a 67-21 series lead over the Hornets and look to extend it on Wednesday. The game is slated for a 4 p.m. (PT) start with live stream available, but viewers must use a Safari browser in order to watch.
 
Returning from Pac-12 play in Salt Lake City, the Bears began the week on a high note after pulling in its first conference win on Sunday with an 8-7 come-from-behind victory against Utah to prevent the sweep.
