California women's gymnastics continues a two-meet homestand when fourth-ranked UCLA comes to Berkeley Saturday. The meet is slated to begin at 11:30 a.m. from Haas Pavilion and televised live on the Pac-12 Networks. 

Saturday's meet is Cal's annual "Powerful in Pink" meet, dedicated to honor those who have been affected by breast cancer and raise breast cancer awareness. Cal will debut all-new pink-themed leos, and auction off an authentic leotard from previous seasons to raise money for the fight against breast cancer.

California comes off an impressive performance against No. 19 Arizona, where the Bears took three individual event titles and snapped a three-meet losing streak with improved mental focus and a six-for-six showing on the uneven bars.  Led by four career-high performances and Toni-Ann Williams' 9.95, the Bears notched the program's fourth-highest floor total while also outscoring the Wildcats on vault and beam. Cassidy Keelen tallied career-highs in both her events,  and Arianna Robinson matched season and career-bests in her events on her way to her first vault title of the season.
