USC

For the second year in a row, Cal men’s rowing became the Pac-12 champion while women’s rowing placed third overall.

As students finish up the 2023 finals season, Cal track and field is faced with a final test — the Pac-12 championships and the rest of the postseason.

The loss was an upset on the part of USC, as the Bears were seeded higher going into the tournament and were last year’s regular season champions.

The Bears had two difficult back-to-back games this weekend against the Trojans and the Sun Devils, falling to both teams and performing worse than in their last games against these schools last week.

While Cal went into the weekend with a four-game losing streak, it turned its around momentum with a resounding 4-0 victory over UCLA and a thrilling 4-3 comeback against USC.

With four consecutive losses — most recently a loss on the road against Utah — and a 1-2 conference record, the Bears will be looking to win both matches if they want to turn their momentum around and have a winning record in the Pac-12.

Despite an intense game against USC, the Pac-12’s first-place team, and a respectable performance against Arizona State, Cal ended the weekend winless.

After falling to both in two relatively tight games this past weekend, the Bears must focus on where they fell short in order to secure the wins.

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.

Despite splitting another pair of Pac-12 weekend matches, the Bears looked confident in LA this weekend. Beating UCLA 5-2 and narrowly losing out to USC 4-3, the Bears seem to be righting the ship.
