After a significantly strong start to the season, Cal faltered as it opened conference play, narrowly beating Arizona 196.4-196.1 in Tucson on Friday night

When Cal faces No. 33 Arizona on Friday evening, it will have a chance to secure not only its first dual meet win but also a third substantial away mark.

It’s good news Bears as the team pulls away from President’s Day with a fifth straight win, but will it achieve the same victory against ASU?

Although the Bears enter Monday’s matchup against Arizona as the clear favorites, the meet is crucial in determining where Cal sits entering the postseason.
