Unfortunately for the Bears, their conference closed out with a 0-3 sweep by the Cardinal.

Cal volleyball will migrate south to sunny Southern California this weekend to face off against No. 13 UCLA and attempt to gobble up a dub.

Cal will take a trip to Utah and Colorado where it will battle the teams one last time in the Pac-12 conference.

Cal takes on WSU and Washington at Haas Pavilion, but ultimately loses to the teams in straight sweeps.

Cal volleyball played hard to turn its losing streak around, but no treats await the team as it loses to both Arizona and ASU.

The Bears still yet to leave the stadium victorious lose to No. 2 Washington and No. 4 WSU, but still fight to improve their game play.

In their eight season losses, the Bears have only won an even number set three times. And that trend continued during this week’s losses to Arizona and Arizona State.

While Cal volleyball started as well as one could against tough competition, the blue and gold ultimately dropped five straight sets en route to a 0-2 start to conference play.

The Bears will need to take all the lessons they have learned in the preseason — especially the ability to push through the tough sets — into their demanding conference schedule if they are to find success.

While the only revenge the football team can exact on the desert school is flexing its academic might, Cal volleyball has a chance for a much more tangible payback. The Bears will invite the Wolfpack into their lair Friday as part of the Cal tournament.
