Although Cal entered the semifinals as a strong contender for a spot in the national final, fatal mistakes ended the team’s historic season.

Cal finished third at the Pac-12 championship with a 197.825, its highest road score this season and the best conference championship mark in program history.

Though the Cal women’s gymnastics team will enter the Pac-12 championship as the No. 3 seed, it has just as much capability as No. 1 and 2 seeds UCLA and Utah.

When Cal, LSU, Washington and George Washington meet in Baton Rouge for the Purple and Gold Classic, each team will likely be competing against itself.

With sisters eMjae and Margzetta Frazier on opposite sides of the mat, the Frazier family received the best possible outcome: a tie.

With the final routine, Cal freshman eMjae Frazier secured a tie for her team, the all-around win, a share of the floor title and two school records.

Cal and UCLA’s meet Saturday will mark the beginning of an end, a matchup between sisters and the homecoming of UCLA head coach Janelle McDonald.

After two decisive wins against Stanford and ASU, Cal narrowly maintained its undefeated streak at Oregon State on Friday, tying the Beavers 197.375-197.375.

When Arizona State comes to Haas on Saturday, Cal will look to match its season-high score of 197.525 in front of what it hopes will be another record crowd.

After a significantly strong start to the season, Cal faltered as it opened conference play, narrowly beating Arizona 196.4-196.1 in Tucson on Friday night
