As the NBA trade deadline approaches, some teams find themselves in unfamiliar spots, and each team has its own unique problems that it faces on the way to making the playoffs, vying for a title or racing to the bottom for the No. 1 overall pick.

The Bears will host England in this friendly match with the goal of gaining some useful practice reps against unfamiliar faces before the regular season starts.

The team’s outstanding play in the Pac-12 Preview, including a record-setting performance from Oh, gives fans a lot to get excited about when the regular season kicks off in a few short months.

On Monday, the first day of the event, senior Cindy Oh tied a Cal record by shooting 6 under par on the day. This left her in first place in the individual rankings after one day of action and placed her name in the Cal record books.

The tough competition is apparent this November as Cal, currently ranked 49th, is the third-lowest ranked team in the tournament, only ahead of Washington State and Hawaii.

The team finished shooting 22 over par, a season low thus far in the fall. The Bears’ ninth-place finish was also a season low for the squad, as they managed to place eighth and fourth in their previous events.

This weekend, the Cal’s women’s golf team will participate in the Stanford Intercollegiate in Palo Alto, hoping to improve upon its up-and-down start to the fall campaign.

Just days after its close victory in the inaugural Big Match against Stanford, Cal women’s golf participated in a more traditional tournament from Sept. 24-25. The Coeur D’Alene Resort Collegiate Invitational, hosted by Gonzaga, featured 18 teams, including Pac-12 opponent Washington State.

This unique event paired players from both the women’s and men’s teams to compete in a four-ball style tournament with six different matches.
