*Leading Off…How Sweet It Is*
The Cal women’s tennis team is through to the round of 16 after knocking of Southeastern Louisiana and Arizona State over the weekend at the Hellman Tennis Center.
It should have been that way. Who are the Lions anyway? They’re from No-where, Louisiana. Oh, and the Sun Devils? The Bears knocked them off twice during the regular season.
Easy rolling to the sweet 16 if you ask us.
*Not So Sweet*
The men’s tennis team didn’t fare as well as their female counterparts, losing in the first round to Oklahoma. It was a pretty close one, with the Bears losing 4-3.
It was also Cal’s first first-round loss since 2000, and it was a bitter way to end the season after roaring back at the end there.
Still, most of the season was ho-hum anyway.
*No Pac-10 Crowns This Time*
After the men’s and women’s crew teams won Pac-10 championships last year, both fell to rivals in this year’s edition.
The women’s crew lost its conference crown (for the first time in four years) to USuC. When you don’t advance to the grand final in two of the four events, you’re going to be pretty hard pressed to win a meet.
On the men’s side, all they needed to do was beat Washington in the final race to capture their third straight Pac-10 crown. They lost and were knocked off their pedestal.
*fUCLA Wins 100th Team Championship*
The Baby Bears won the women’s water polo national championship over the weekend, giving fUCLA 100 NCAA team titles.
Whoop-dee-fucking-doo.
*Warriors Un-Mania*
Last week, we asked a simple question: Can the W’s use their athleticism to beat the Utah Jazz the same way they did against Dallas?
For one game, Golden State in fact was able to do that. But for the rest of the series for the Warriors, the team misses free throws, has horrible shot attempts and just runs out of gas near the end of the games.
Game 5 is going to be tough in the SLC.
*Golden Bears*
_1) Alysia Johnson – track & field_
Racking up the hardware won the Pac-10 crown in the 800-meter
_2) Ed Wright – track & field_
Took home the Pac-10 crown in the high jump
_3) Jill Malko – lacrosse coach_
Truly one of the better coaches on campus and one of the better people at Cal. She put in a lot of effort her nine years at the helm.
