cal is not a very good team. it can beat poor teams, but stronger teams no. at least not yet. maybe one of these days.

Cal now has a new coach and will be getting in 3 new players so what will it take to be better? More higher level recruits and more time for coach ?

A ton of injuries this year to key players. It's difficult to win when you lose your starting setter early and your top two newcomers see no action.

I'm okay with putting an asterisk next to this year...

The off-season should be interesting. Of the 5 seniors, 3 have playing eligibility left so will 1 or 2 come back next season? How will the 2 frosh players and the Syracuse transfer who did not play at all fit into the play rotation? The middle position should be solid with Scott returning to join Hayden and Thomsen. Then, we'll have the 3 incoming frosh players (OH, Opposite, and DS) joining the team.

Will Maeder return to join Lau in the setter position? Will frosh Agolli who played both setter and OH in high school compete for this position? Or does Cal go to the portal for an underclassman setter since Lau and Maeder, if she returns, will no longer have eligibility after 2025?

These are just my uneducated opinions. Have a great Holiday Season!

From what I have heard, Maeder is graduating and will not return so the coach will hunt the portal for a replacement.

Nine of the 64 teams selected for the NCAA Volleyball Tournament today are from the ACC.

Two #1 seeds (Pitt, Louisville)
Two #2 seeds (Stanford, SMU).

Tough conference.

what happened to Paige ? I just thought she would play. We make too many errors on offense. looking at stats, we make too many hitting errors. our middle is solid but opposite is a weakness. yes tell me about injuries. my team is down to 7 players with one of our freshman sustaining a broken clavicle. last yr we lost our best defender and real good and tall point guard early then first league game lost our best shooter and leading scorer. well i hope we can do better and start beating some of the higher tier teams in the ACC.

Happy Holidays, LodeBear!

In all the matches I watched, Paige was always dressed in warmup gear which meant to me she was recovering from some injury and she didn't go with the other injured on the road trips. She finally dressed to play in the last several matches, but she only played as a server at times.

Since Chabbear said Maeder is not returning, the setter position is a big concern with Natalie Lau being the only experienced player. According to the info on VolleyTalk, we did have a setter committed in the 2025 class, but she signed with another school.

Maggie Li is in the transfer portal? Well-the new HC must rebuild from the ground level up now. Did she graduate from Cal in two years?

well she did play one year for the new coach. I expected her to transfer last year. will need to find a real good outside hitter through the portal, hopefully. Go Bears

Wow, now NIL and the transfer portal hitting VB, Softball and others

depressing to lose the face of our team

I hate to say it, but I'm getting discouraged and rethinking which teams to continue to support going forward
