university is naming sarah fuller as its place kicker for its game against missouri, the first woman to ever play in a major division 1 football game. fuller is a goalie for vanderbilt women's soccer team, getting the call to put on the shoulder pads because multiple male players were ruled out due to possible covid-19 exposure. excited to see that. here at home, cal and stanford gave bay area college football fans great post-thanksgiving dessert, an excellent showdown in the 113th playing of the big game. this year's battle for the axe came right down to the wire. abc 7 sports anchor chris alvarez takes you through the highlights. in this morning's sports. >> good morning, the 123rd edition of big game, unlike any in the history of this great rivalry, no fans, no band, no cheerleaders, no mascots but two football teams looking for their first win of the season, in a year unlike any we've seen. no fans as i mentioned in the stands. the axe is up for grabs, good artists there at cal.

here's a look at the real thing, there it is. cal's nikko remigio, punt in stanford, all over it. that sets them up in great field position. game tying touchdown comes here, davis mills to michael wilson, that's perfection. all tied up at 10. miscues would cost cal in this game. marcel dancy hit hard, ball pops out, fumble. thomas booker comes up with it for stanford, that set up this, austin jones punches it in, giving the cardinal a 17-10 lead. 14 points off turnovers for stanford. one minute to go in the fourth. winning time christopher brown jr., he scores the touchdown. cal, everyone's so pumped up on the sidelines. and why not? just need the extra point. but it's blocked. are you kidding me? stanford recovers, and, wow, omari porter ends up with the football. the cardinals take back the axe in a wild one, 24-23, costly in the big edition of big game. >> we put a lot into this, a lot of people do, players, coaches,

people in the program. so and the fans. put a lot into it. and it doesn't feel good. >> we knew we had an opportunity, and our guys were juiced up. you heard the guys on the sidelines saying hey, we can block it, go block it. >> yeah, i can't lie i was a little nervous, they were telling us we weren't going to be able to touch it because of covid, one way or another we found a way. >> college hoops, san francisco taking on virginia, dons looking to beat first top five opponents since 1981. late second half bouye goes baseline, lays it in, dons go up one, two minutes to go, taavi jurkatamm, the triple is true, the bench loves that. 61-54 dons, final seconds of the game, virginia down one. they miss the three, and san francisco huge upset 61-60, everyone goes crazy afterwards. why not, that is just awesome. switch gears to golf for the match three event raising over $5.4 million for historically black colleges and universities. here we go.

stephen curry teaming up with peyton manning taking on phil mickelson and charles barkley. manning and curry are the favorites but someone fix barkley's crazy golf swing he has, not today, a long day for curry and manning when sir charles does does that. fairway on 1. second hole, manning, the approach shot, and this is almost going to get in for eagle. skips right over the hole, what a great shot from peyton. here comes his teammate, curry with a chance to birdie the hole. he misses, steph struggled at times on friday. but looked great on the 6th hole. nice tee shot on the par 3. that is just pretty. both teams would have the hole. but mickelson and barkley able to put things away on 15. phil sinks the winning putt. good fun there, and a ton of money raised for charity. that's your look at sports. send it back to you. all right, lisa, we're joking, weave got our stretchy pants on, ready to eat some pie for breakfast. >> if there's left. got to move quick in some of

your households, i'm sure. live doppler 7, nice and clear and cold, but it is 14 in truckee, and 18 at the tahoe valley airport. so put that in perspective with our low 30s in the north bay. not that bad. you can see the ridge of high pressure dominating much of california. and the storm track up into washington and oregon, pretty view here of the south bay, you can see how the autumn colors of the trees here, 48 downtown, 46 in oakland, 45 in mountain view, good recovery. in the mid-30s earlier, still 39 in san jose. 36 in gilroy. good morning half moon bay, 46 for you, and right here from pier 39, the water temperature in the low 50s. so a little warmer than the air temperature for the sea lions there, have a take a dip to warm up, 32 in santa rosa, 37 in novato, 34 in napa, by the delta it's 35 as well as livermore with mid-30s in concord, another view of the south bay, where you can see just how clear it is. and we've got some really light

winds on the way. pretty calm atmosphere. so the cold mornings this weekend followed by the sunny and mild afternoons, the dry pattern holds, as we get into the workweek, which, of course is the first week of december. so let's check out the entire west here, and you'll notice the pacific northwest anyway just a little bit of rain, but even the storm track building further to the north as we get into december, so that means what rain they're going to get come tomorrow and monday. it's going to be about it in california. just absolutely nothing. so as we look at the current amounts here on this column, anywhere from just over a tenth to a third in right around san francisco, sfo a half inch, downtown, and the deficit running anywhere from two to over 4.5 inches. you know we need the rain, another sunny day on the way. couple degrees above average, 60 at the coast, light winds, 63 again downtown, 65 in oakland. upper 60s in the north bay.

san jose nice day for you at 64. tonight, chilly, low 30s in the north bay. mid-30s in the inland east bay. a few high clouds tomorrow, slightly cooler monday, sunny and mild on tuesday. as december gets under way, pattern remains unchanged. liz? >> all right, lisa, thank you. right now masks are a necessity, of course, but for some they are not as easy to come by as you might think. a group of berkeley grads decided to help fill the void by handing out thousands of free masks to unhoused individuals in the bay area. take a look. ♪ masks is a resource that seems simple but not necessarily everyone has access, or the resources to get it. >> the specific idea for distributing face masks, that came from me and my roommate and we're living in berkeley at the time. the covid pandemic hit and we noticed that a lot of people living on our street didn't have any sort of face covering and we were really worried about the potential for covid to be spreading amongst the community. as recent grads we felt like we had the skills to apply to help

our community. >> when we get a really big shipment, like the one we got from masks to all. it's really helpful. donations is one of the few ways that we get masks to the people in this community. this is one of the ways that masks are responding. if we have these masks, anyone who comes through, they can get a fresh one or if they don't have one on they can get one from us. >> there are definitely moments in the beginning of just, it's like what's the best way to go about like everything, it took some time but as we began to do more research and get more information we became more confident. >> five out of six teammates are recent berkeley grads. we started out really only targeting berkeley. after that we expanded to oakland and we really had this idea of knocking out one city at a time. at the point where we covered the need of all of our non-profit partners in oakland

and berkeley we were wondering if san francisco is too ambitious of a goal. but we ended up pushing through and we managed to cover all the need of our current nonprofit partners in san francisco at this time. so i think our next steps are trying to figure out how to streamline the process to connect the mask suppliers directly to nonprofit organizations. >> definitely want to be able to turn kind of our website into a resource hub. here are different places you can donate masks and here are different places you can go to if you need more masks to distribute. >> not a single person on our team could have foreseen the amount of impact that we ended up having. >> a group of passionate people who really wanted to make a difference. specifically during this time. and came together to make it happen. pretty great to see that, and you can watch more stories like this on localish.com, and all the localish social media pages that you see right here. coming up next, a brand new
