BERKELEY - Fifteenth-ranked California battled Lehigh for 120 minutes Friday afternoon on Goldman Field at Edwards Stadium, and the teams wound up tying, 1-1, after two overtimes in the Golden Bears' first game of the Cal Legacy Classic.

Twenty nine seconds into the second half, James Meyerkord equalized for the Mountain Hawks. He collected a loose ball at the top of the Cal box and slotted the ball in the net.
