Cal men’s tennis is in a losing slump, with its 4-2 loss against then-No. 40 Utah on the road marking its fourth consecutive loss.

Maria Boone Cranor, co-founder of Black Diamond Equipment, UC Berkeley alumna and former instructor in the physics department at The University of Utah died from cancer at age 76 in her Salt Lake City home on Jan. 15, according to Berkeleyside. 

Since the DeMarini Invitational, Cal has yet to conquer three straight games in a row. Cal has not yet gained the urge to sweep its competition clean with an undefeated series.

The Bears kept their focus and stayed within their “Bear bubble,” ultimately finishing second behind the fierce home team.

In a back-to-back matchup, No. 6 Cal is lined up to race against No. 24 Arizona on Friday at 2 p.m. and Arizona State at 12 p.m. Saturday. In this annual joint meet, the Bears have an opportunity to get back into the rhythm of competition and weekly races.

With Cal women's swim and dive's forward-looking mindset, it took every chance in its season to prepare for this meet in Minneapolis.

In an interview with The Daily Californian, guitarist Katie Henderson, bassist McKenna Petty, drummer Alisa Ramirez and lead vocalist and guitarist Cristal Ramirez discussed how they’re making their most honest music yet.

For the first time in four years, the Bears will return to Ute territory, competing in their second dual meet of the season and their first meet out of state.

While the Bears may not have placed quite as they’d sought to, silver linings abound from the team’s trip to Utah.

Ambivalent shrugs at the question of parenthood soon became “babies sicken me” and then turned into “I’d kill to have a kid.”
