It appears that Sophie Scott has earned a starting spot. GO BEARS!

Time to remove the "Interim Head Coach" designation from Coach Schoonderwoerd's title.

Looking at the schedule, Cal only needs one more win on the season to be assured of a winning record overall. That would be a great milestone for a team/program that has been historically bad for quite some time.

We had numerous people on the volleytalk forum questioning if we could win a single conference game. What a crazy turn around.

Excitedly happy for the Bears' win and sweep of Arizona. But we did beat the bottom end of the Pac 12 teams who are now 1-12. Altho in the past we would have lost to those bottom 4 teams as well so it is an improvement. Definitely better coaching and better team this year.

Looking at their schedule 7 out of 10 remaining games are at home. Overall the Pac-12 seem to be down this year. Anyone knows how many of these we need to win to be NCAA eligible?

From the NCAA website:

Selecting the 32 At Large Bids:

These teams are chosen, sometimes controversially by a committee that considers each team's
  • season ending national ranking
  • season ending win-loss record
  • opponent strength
  • strength of the team's playing schedule

So if during the your team's season you played and beat tough teams then that would count much more than playing against and beating easy teams.

Based on all this info they "seed" the tournament brackets, which means they place each team in a spot according to who they have figured out should be ranked or seeded first, second third all the way to the 64th team in the country.

i will take any win. they barely beat them at Hass in 5. now they beat them at arizona in 3. they could still win 2 maybe 3 more conference wins. Keep going Cal Bears.!!

for Cal volleyball, 57 straight conference losses, until this year. sounds like mens BB finally beating UCLA with Campanelli. Cal can only get better.
