BERKELEY - California volleyball travels to the Palouse for a conference double-dip with No. 17 Washington State this week.
The Golden Bears and Cougars are set for a 6 p.m. first serve on Friday, Feb. 26 at Bohler Gym, followed by an 11 a.m. start on Sunday, Feb. 28. Links to the live stream and live stats for the matches are available on CalBears.com.
The young, shorthanded Cal squad is coming off of a pair of 3-1 losses to USC last week at Haas Pavilion. The Blue and Gold are led by a pair of freshmen in Lydia Grote (Burbank, California) and Katarina Pantovic (Vancouver, British Columbia), along with senior Isabel Potter (Moline, Illinois). Grote leads the Bears with 84 kills and 27 blocks, while Pantovic is second on the team with 80 kills playing in eight of 10 matches this season. Potter moved into seventh all-time at Cal in assists last week, totaling 2,609 in her career with the Bears.
Governments around the country are looking at ways to curb the spread of the deadly novel coronavirus. One way is to institute a shelter-in-place-order. But what does that mean and how does it work? We broke it down for you.
Pantovic says the volleyball team was moved to a hotel to avoid the COVID-19 restriction at dorms, which would impact their ability to travel for games. She says the restrictions are tough, but necessary. I think they do make sense in a circumstance like this where there is a large surge in cases. I think it s the only thing that can be done to slow (it) down, says Pantovic.
