After competing in four NCAA tournament games at the Oklahoma Sooners’ Marita Hynes Field over the weekend, the Bears’ best season since 2018 came to an end.
Cal’s ability to stay consistent against tougher competition will be put to the test against the Missouri Tigers as the quest to become national champions begins.
The Bears have been a team that has shown the ability to fight their way back into games, but a five-run first inning by the Utes was the beginning of the end for Cal.
Even though the 33-18-1 Bears will remain in Tucson as the sixth seed facing Utah in the inaugural Pac-12 softball tournament, Cal concluded its regular season on a high note, winning two of three against the Arizona Wildcats.
