Bears finally find way to beat Cardinal

Devanei Hampton had a big second half to finish with 22 points and 14 rebounds and No. 21 California ended a 14-game losing streak to rival Stanford, beating the eighth-ranked Cardinal for the first time in nearly six years with a 72-57 victory Sunday in Stanford, Calif.

The Cardinal (9-4, 11-1 Pac-10) struggled on offense, relying too much on the 3-point shot, and had its 17-game winning streak snapped in its first Pac-10 defeat. It was the team’s longest unbeaten run since getting 23 in a row two years ago.
