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.

After a rain-enforced break, Cal women’s tennis is set to come back to the court this weekend, facing two more Pac-12 opponents in USC and UCLA. Cal’s season has been riddled with rain delays and rescheduling, making it hard to get on-court time to prepare for tough matches.

After a doubles point and singles match came down to the wire, Michigan clinched the win against Cal 4-3.

The Bears looked confident out on the courts on Friday against SDSU. Now, Cal steadies itself for No. 3 Michigan, hoping to use the newly found momentum to secure a crucial win.

Following a weekend of rainouts, Cal returned to the court in Miami, facing off against highly ranked Miami and NC State. Despite valiant efforts, both matches ended in losses for the Bears, dropping their record to 2-3.

As Shelton was battling it out in Melbourne, college teams across the country, including No. 11 Cal, participated in the ITA Kickoff Weekend, vying for a spot at the Indoor Nationals in Seattle.
