Saint Mary's

After a successful three-game sweep at last weekend’s Army Tournament in West Point, New York, the Bears look to bring this momentum into upcoming matchups with Portland State and Southern Utah.

After 80 minutes of intense fighting in Houston, Cal rugby dropped the national championship to Navy, 28-22.

Even though they sometimes flirted with an unceremonious end to the season, especially during the loss-filled month of March, the Bears’ mental strength is one of the greatest foundations that the program can count on to win the title Saturday.

The Bears and Cougars will face off for a chance to play in the finals.

Cal baseball headed east to Salt Lake City to win a three-game weekend series against the Utah Utes.

Cal took the lead at the 59-minute mark when Kealan O’Connell surprised the Saint Mary’s defense and crossed the whitewash. The lead change would be the first and the last of the game.

There is no better game than a quarterfinal to take down your best enemies and open the way to the championship.

The Bears got back on track with two resounding midweek victories — 14-2 over Nevada and 9-3 over Saint Mary’s. Cal now boasts an 11-3 non-conference record, a sign of a solid club, if not the nearly completely opposite 3-12 conference record.

Cal faced the Mustangs in a full-time XVs game for the first time in nearly 4 years. And, much like the performance of those Bears from back in 2019, the home team dominated. 

Struggling heavily in Pac-12 play this season, the Bears take a break from playing their conference counterparts to take on Nevada and Saint Mary’s.
