If the Bears hit hard from the start, they may be able to destabilize their opponent and take themselves one step closer to NCAA qualification.

The next day proved more successful for Cal as the team took on Washington in the early afternoon and No. 20 Stanford a couple of hours later.

Rosenqvist won her second Pac-12 Player of the Week award this season for her performance against the Arizona teams, winning both of her singles matches and both of her doubles matches to keep the Bears undefeated in conference play.

At UC Berkeley, students in the sciences look to their professors as mentors as they attempt to navigate the often overwhelming field of research. But what should students do when these same mentors fail to impart the importance of ethics in their work?

No. 11 Cal beach volleyball had a lot riding on its matchup against No. 6 Hawaii: the potential to increase its national ranking to heights the team has never seen before and an improvement of the team’s odds of getting into the NCAA Tournament at the end of the season — two of its ultimate goals.

Play will kick off early Saturday afternoon when Cal takes on No. 6 Hawaii. The last time the Bears faced the Bows was 2015 when they attended the Rainbow Wahine Spring Challenge, also in Honolulu.

Singing and chanting echoed across Sproul Plaza on Wednesday morning when about 25 people took to the Mario Savio Steps to protest the Thirty Meter Telescope, or TMT, which is being constructed on top of the Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii.

Ending the weekend errorless, Cal’s defense showed it can tighten things up when matched up against weaker opponents. The question remains whether the Bears can hold the same notion against the beasts of the Pac-12 throughout March and April to prove they are worthy of postseason glory.

One factor that may affect the outcome of the Bears’ matchup with the Bruins is the pairings. Last weekend, four of the five competitive pairs for Cal had never played in a tournament together before.
