The Namdhari Hockey Academy remembers earning a bronze medal in the 2005 California Cup at Moorpark College.

This time, the field hockey academy team from Bangalore, Karnataka, India, is going for the gold in the Super Men's Division. Namdhari wants to defeat two-time defending champion Ciudad de Buenos Aires of Argentina in Monday's championship game.

"That's what we think," said Uday Singh, team owner and sponsor of Namdhari.

Namdhari routed the San Francisco team 10-0 in Friday's opening game.

Olympians Harpal Singh and Varkey Sabu lead a young and talented India team. The 16-member team features players ranging in age from 18 to 24.

The academy has 200 players, including a national team, a junior national team and numerous age-group teams.

The 2005 Namdhari team didn't make it to Disneyland and this time, that's one of the stops after the tournament.

Namdhari plays seven or eight major tournaments each year and the club has two gold-medal and silver-medal finishes this season.

In other action on Friday, the Dirty Birds of Vancouver, British Columbia, edged the Moorpark Mystery, 2-1, featuring national and junior national American players. The Mystery went on to beat San Francisco 2-1 in its second match of the day. Fourteen national team local players are leaving today for China to play in a four-nation tournament with Egypt and Japan.

Tom Harris, the Cal Cup founder, said the Americans can play with those three teams. The tournament serves as a tune-up for this summer's Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, July 13-29. The Pan American Games champion qualifies for the 2008 Olympic Games in China.

Buenos Aires also beat Pacific Sun 8-0.

In the Women's Super Division, it was the Stanford Cardinal 1, Rush'd 1; Malvern Field Hockey Club (Brooklyn, N.Y.) 8, San Jose Chicks With Sticks 0; Ciudad de Mexico 3, San Diego Pac Attack 2; California of Oakland 3, College All-Stars of Stockton 2; Stanford 3, Chicks with Sticks 0; CD Buenos Aires 2, Rush'd 0; California of Oakland 2, Pac Attack 1; Monarcas 6, College All-Stars 0.

Today's matches start 7 a.m. and the final game will be played at 6:10 p.m.
