BERKELEY, Calif. -- Two days before California plays its second game in less than a week against a well-rested USC team, coach Sonny Dykes was still trying to figure out why the Golden Bears were put in this position.The quick turnaround and short week following Fridays double-overtime win against Oregon forced Cal to condense its normal schedule, something that wouldnt bother Dykes so much if there werent so many other factors involved.The Bears already had to trim a day off their regular routine because Thursday nights game is on the road. On top of that, several Cal players are in the middle of midterm exams, reducing their availability for practice even more.Its a topic that Dykes has been simmering over for a few weeks now and one he wasnt ready to back off of Tuesday.When you sit down and look at the schedule, clearly its not ideal, Dykes said Its one of those deals where you just go, `How in the world did this ever happen? How could somebody let this happen?Cal (4-3, 2-2 Pac-12) was coming off a 12-day break when it beat Oregon in Berkeley on Friday night in a game that lasted nearly 4 + hours and didnt end until almost midnight local time. The Bears ran 118 plays offensively against the Ducks, which Dykes said was the equivalent of playing two games.On the other hand, USC (4-3, 3-2) hasnt played since thumping Arizona 48-14 on Oct. 15.While some team would have had to play the Trojans coming off a bye, Dykes cant understand why the Bears were selected to do it on short rest -- and on the road.Weve had to make a lot of schedule changes and do a lot of different things out of the norm, Dykes said. Its one thing to do it on six days notice. Its another to do it on the road. But our guys have handled it well.The Bears shortened their work week to try to get everything in.Players were given Saturday off but were back on the field Sunday afternoon. Cal practiced on its normal day off, Monday, but several players were unable to attend due to academic responsibilities.The challenge you always face is making sure that you balance keeping them fresh with getting enough reps and developing your young players, Dykes said. Just teaching them all the things you need to teach them about your opponent in a limited amount of time. Weve got to balance getting some work done but at the same time making sure were fresh.Cals players dont seem bothered by the quick turnaround.Defensive back Cameron Walker and left tackle Aaron Cochran said the short week means more emphasis on studying USC and doing extra film work.Quarterback Davis Webb, on the other hand, doesnt think it will be much of an issue at all.Its a challenge but I think its a mindset at the same time, Webb said. We understand thats how the schedule rolled for us this year and there are no excuses. We have to play a tough team on Thursday night and we look forward to the challenge. If you dont know the game plan and what theyre going to do by Thursday then youre in trouble. Hector Bellerin Arsenal Jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.

AUBURN, Ala. -- The Auburn soccer team began its 14th NCAA Tournament appearance in style with a 4-0 win against South Alabama on Saturday afternoon. The victory sent the Tigers (15-6-0) to the second round for the third-straight year, matching the program record set from 2002-04.Im really, really pleased with our team, said head coach Karen Hoppa. I thought we dominated possession and I thought we played a great game. South Alabama is a great team. They had a great season and were really dangerous. Our possession was tremendous and our defense was tremendous to limit them to one shot on goal. It was a great result and were excited to be fighting to play another day.Brooke Ramsier paced the team with two goals in the 90-minute affair, while Haley Gerken and Casie Ramsier each netted one to guide the offense. Kristen Dodson also made her mark on the match by providing two assists.The Tigers dominated from start to finish as the team outshot the Jaguars (15-6-1) by a margin of 18-1. Auburns defense did not allow a single shot in the first half and Sarah Le Beau smothered the lone attempt by South Alabama in the second half.We talked about being relentless, and I think we really embodied that today, stated Gerken. It took us a little bit of time to get into the game, but we came out of halftime and we wanted to own our field. This is our home field and we wanted to put it all out there.Despite a plethora of chances early on, the Tigers were unable to break the deadlock. The 44th minute is when the match finally broke the home teams way.ddddddddddddDodson worked her way around a defender by the corner flag and sent in a cross across the face of goal to Casie Ramsier, who waited patiently and tapped it over the line to give Auburn a 1-0 lead just before the intermission.Coming out of the break, Gerken picked a perfect time to register her first tally of 2016. In the 53rd minute, the senior sent in a curling effort to the back post where it nestled into the top corner to double the lead for the Tigers, 2-0.Just nine minutes later, Brooke Ramsier made it 3-0 when she took a layoff from Dodson and lofted a ball to the back post that was just over the outstretched arms of the opposing goalkeeper and across the line.The Dallas, Texas native then rattled home her first career brace when she launched a free kick from 25 yards out that rocketed into the back of the net and put the match out of reach in the 78th minute.Auburn held on in the final moments and notched its seventh shutout of the season.In total, the Tigers played 20 players and saw four players come off the bench to register season-highs in minutes including Hannah Alspach, Devyn Brough, Kerry Dunn and Katie Grunder.Auburn awaits the winner of the UConn-Albany match that is set to take place Saturday night. The Tigers will play the victor on Friday in Gainesville, Fla. with a game time yet to be determined. ' ' '
