All good things must come to an end. This weekend, setter Isabel Potter and libero Jessica Houghton said their goodbyes as Cal volleyball hosted its final matches of the season.
“It’s always sad when you see your seniors graduate, especially Jess Houghton and Isabel Potter they’re really really great role models for our team, they’re both our team captains and they’re just really great people,” said middle blocker Bella Bergmark.
The team held its final series against No. 7 Washington, the 2020-21 Pac-12 champion. While it would have been nice to end with a bang, the Bears held their heads high despite losing both matches in 0-3 sweeps.

Effort doesn’t always guarantee success.
Unfortunately for Cal volleyball, this means that its hustle on the court doesn’t always translate into wins. This past weekend, fans watched as the team fought valiantly against USC but was unable to bring a victory home, losing both Friday and Saturday’s matches 1-3.
“It was a tough loss because, I think, reflected in the scores too, you can see we were right there. We were really fighting,” said outside hitter Makana Meyer. “But I think more than anything, it kind of energized us for this second half of Pac-12.”
