The Bay Area of California is the focal point for this week's edition of the NSCAA College Game of the Week on Fox Soccer Channel.

The men's game features a West Coast Conference matchup as the University of San Francisco (6-8-1) travels to the University of Santa Clara (4-9-4) on Friday (Nov. 6). Kickoff at Buck Shaw Stadium is set for 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT.

San Francisco heads into the game off a 3-1 home defeat of Loyola Marymount. The Dons got a hat trick from leading scorer Conor Chinn, a 2009 Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy Watch List member. Santa Clara battled Portland to a 1-1 draw in its previous outing. The Broncos are paced by defender Eric Masch's five goals. San Francisco holds a 30-19-8 advantage in the all-time series, but Santa Clara is 10-3-2 versus the Dons since 2000.

The Pacific-10 Conference is spotlighted in the women's game as the University of California (10-7-1) heads to Palo Alto, Calif., to take on No. 1 Stanford University (19-0-0) Sunday (Nov. 8) at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium in the teams' regular season finale. This game will be aired on a tape-delayed basis on Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. ET.

California snapped a four-game losing streak with a pair of victories versus Arizona and Arizona State last week. The Golden Bears are led by 2009 Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy Watch List candidate Alex Morgan. Stanford, which is attempting to complete its first perfect regulaur season in school history, clinched a share of its first Pac-10 title since 2002 with a 4-0 victory over Arizona in its last contest. Kelley O'Hara tops all Cardinal scorers with 20 goals. Stanford leads the all-time series, 14-10-4, and is 2-0-1 versus California over the past two seasons
