Avoiding a loss against the Bruins and securing a 1-0 victory versus San Diego State in their final home game of the season has put the Bears in a decent position to earn a spot in this year’s NCAA Tournament.

Following Carl Emil Overbeck’s first-place finish at the Jack Kramer Invitational, the Bears return to the den satisfied and prepare for winter hibernation.

Cal, led by Jalen Celestine and Fardaws Aimaq, kickstarted the Mark Madsen era with a last-minute thriller against St. Thomas.

Over the past few tournaments, Cal players have performed especially well. This weekend was a chance for the Bears to seize the spotlight, and they made sure to deliver.

Cal visited Autzen Stadium for the final time in Pac-12 play to take on No. 6 Oregon. With heavy rain dressing the field, Oregon’s 63-19 beatdown of Cal could be characterized by just one word: chaos.

The losing streak for the Bears continues as they suffer defeat at the hands of the Ducks, 19-63. Cal now stares at the familiar challenge of having to win out to attain bowl eligibility in 2023.

Sports journalism is a career path that I’ve grown to appreciate over the past couple of years. Even though it’s hard for me to simply watch a game as the wide-eyed, “throw ball far” kid from years prior, I will forever embrace the new perspective journalism has given me.

The Bears forged a path of dominance, and after three matches in four days that included two overtime sessions, they pulled away with their first-ever America East Conference crown.

In the Bears’ third and final dual meet of the fall season, all the stars were aligned as they faced the UCSD Tritons. Continuing the team’s path of dual meet sweeps, Cal toppled the Tritons 183-79, winning 12 out of the 14 events.

A week out from securing the NFC West throne, the Seattle Seahawks surrender their top spot after suffering an embarrassing 37-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
