The Bears were swept in Tucson, just as they were in Tempe. The tandem of defeats puts Cal’s streak of losses up to a daunting eight.

After a 7-3 start to the year, Cal finds itself in a hole – one that is six consecutive losses deep. Bears fans better hope the team has shovels.

The Cougars didn’t just sweep, they vacuumed, mopped the floors and neatly tidied up to take home the 3-0 win. With top tier communication and determined looks on their faces Washington State was unrivaled compared to what appeared to be a group of intimidated Bears.

The Bears head into the weekend with two exciting games to look forward to. A team of blue and gold Bears will be battling Washington State and University of Washington.

Having claimed victories over teams such as UC Davis, Tennessee State and San Diego State, a blue and gold Bear is ready to face a burning red cardinal.

No one likes a gold rush, especially not Saint Mary’s or UC Davis — and especially not after the defeat they experienced.

Cal will host the Aggies at Haas Pavilion on Saturday. With a 5-4 record, Davis has established itself as a force to be wrestled with.

While things were beginning to look better for the Bison, the Bears had different plans; the third set ending at 25-19 and the fourth at 25-17 in Cal’s favor ending the match at a victorious 3-1.

Regardless of a final 1-3 score and a heartfelt loss being handed to Cal, this win was no easy task for the Wolverines. The blue and gold hope to shine brighter than ever this weekend, as the Bears head into the Cal tournament as the host, giving it the home court advantage.

Starting the 2022 season off on the right foot, the Bears swiftly took down Army during the first set with a final score of 25-16. But the final game of the tournament against UC San Diego didn’t turn out in Cal’s favor.
