WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- — Marta Suarez scored 16 points with nine rebounds, Ioanna Krimili and Lulu Twidale each hit four 3-pointers and finished with 14 points apiece on Sunday and No. 18 California beat Wake Forest 67-55.
Krimili scored Cal's first eight points in a 10-2 run that made it 23-19 to give the Golden Bears their first lead almost 4 minutes into the second quarter and they led the rest of the way. Twidale made two 3s before Krimili hit another — her third of the period — to make it 32-24 at the intermission.

The Bears (16-3, 4-2 ACC) had their three-game win streak snapped last time out with a 72-38 loss at No. 16 Duke — Cal’s lowest scoring output since scoring 33 in a 39-point loss to then-No. 4 Stanford on Feb. 28, 2021.
