From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes, Cal volleyball seems to be giving its all the past few matches, edging closer and closer to a Pac-12 win. Up next, the blue and gold prepare to host Arizona and Arizona State in Haas Pavilion.

Cal had an impressively strong defense through the first set, with Tara DeSa picking up hit after hit, tip after tip. Although USC maintained the lead throughout most of the set, the points they earned, were fought for harder than they must have expected.
