Coming off an unexpected series sweep against UCLA, Cal looks to continue its winning streak as the Bears welcome Washington State for the last home conference series.

Cal and UCLA, two clubs, each on a losing streak, go face to face in an important three-game series. One side has to give in.

With a chance to revitalize a seemingly lost season, Cal failed to do so, dropping three games in nonconference play to Pitt this past weekend.

While the Bears have lost their past five games, Santa Clara is on a five-game winning streak, most recently sweeping Pepperdine in a conference series on the road.
