It was a busy weekend for various Cal sports teams, with notable performances across different competitions. The Cal men’s golf team finished second at the Pac-12 championships in Arizona, with Ethan Fang, Sampson Zheng, and Eric Lee placing in the top-13 individually. This marked the best finish for the Bears since 2016, with hopes of earning a bid to the NCAA regionals in May.

Meanwhile, the Cal women’s water polo team secured a runner-up spot at the MPSF championships after advancing to the title game for the first time since 2011. Despite a loss to UCLA, standout players like Rozanne Voorvelt and Mary Dempsey made significant contributions with their goal-scoring. The Bears will now host the NCAA Championships at the Spieker Aquatics Complex for the first time.

In another achievement, the Cal beach volleyball team earned a spot in the NCAA championships for the third consecutive year, securing a program-best No. 7 seed. They will face Long Beach State in the first round, looking to repeat their victory over them from last year’s tournament. With six Pac-12 teams in the NCAA field, the competition promises to be fierce, with top-seeded USC aiming for a fourth consecutive national title.
