Sixteen Gaels will attempt to duplicate last season's upset, 65-64, in Berkeley. Frosh Sidney Raggio (from St Ignatius-SF) converted a clutch floater in the key for the winning score. Their PG from Australia, Nicholson, had 7 assists and zero turnovers, leading SMC to 17-11 assists to turnover ratio against the Bears.

Cal returns everyone except transfer PG Gabby Green. GO BEARS!

Perhaps, more importantly, Schroeder71, Cal adds the quality depth--Jaylen, CJ, MiCole and Sara--they lacked last season. Plus, 6'7", sophomore, Chen Yue will see her first action as part of the post rotation.

No Sara yet. It's her redshirt transfer season. But the added depth that the three frosh bring plus Asha being truly back at full speed make Cal a much different team St. Mary's will face this season.

Based on the scrimmage, it's still coming together but the defense, ball movement and depth are much different. Biggest room for growth early on will be perimeter scoring, IMO.

Correct that Sara will be sitting-out her transfer year. I agree the Bears' perimeter scoring should improve this season. MiCole and Jaylen have shown they can shoot from the arc, as well as take it to the hoop off the bounce. They will join Cowling, Thomas and Davidson, who can also shoot from deep. The perimeter game will also enable the Bears' inside strength to thrive with Kristine, Courtney, CJ and Chen.

I think Range will spend more time on the perimeter this season. She has a variety of perimeter skills including three-point shooting.
