Bears’ guard Leilani McIntosh and wing McKayla Williams will likely have the responsibility of slowing down the Mustangs' leading scorers, as Cal’s tandem has been a two-way force in the young season.
Despite the Bears’ notable loss of star guard Jayda Curry, Cal head coach Charmin Smith has said that her revamped team is better than last season. The Bears will look to make that further known against the Santa Clara Broncos.
After looking sharp in an exhibition game against Westmont, Cal women’s basketball looks to kick off the season with a bang against CSU Bakersfield. With a team featuring seven new incoming players, the Bears hope to build some chemistry in the games before Pac-12 play.
