Cal advances to NCAA Championships after a close night in Morgantown

The fate of Cal’s postseason came down to the wire in the last rotation of Saturday’s Regional Finals. With No. 2 Michigan in first place and surprise qualifier No. 16 Ohio St. stuck in fourth, No. 6 Cal and No. 12 UCLA clawed for second the entire night. Going into the third rotation, the Bruins were just 0.225 points behind the Bears.
Only the top two finishers at regionals would advance to the NCAA Championships. For Cal, the difference between second and third meant going home or flying to Fort Worth.
