Story Links

SEATTLE - Cal's No. 5 pair of junior Grace Campbell and freshman Maddie Micheletti won a pair of matches Saturday to run their record to 20-1 on the season as the No. 13 Golden Bears split a pair of duals at the Pac-12 North Tournament at Alki Beach.

Campbell and Micheletti, whose only loss this season came against No. 2 UCLA, defeated Washington's Emma Calle and Chloe Newton 21-17, 21-13 as the Huskies edged the Bears 3-2. Cal came back to blank Oregon 5-0, with Campbell and Micheletti easily dispatching the Ducks' Marine Hall-Poirier and Kyra Hanawahine, 21-13, 21-13.

Senior Bryce Bark and Madison Dueck, playing at the No. 4 spot for the first time this season after playing most of the year at No. 3, defeated Washington's Anna Crabtree and Kara Bajema, 22-20, 21-19. With the dual tied at 2-2, the Huskies' Courtney Schwan and Destiny Julye edged Cal's Mima Mirkovic and Alexia Inman at the No. 2 spot, 21-15, 13-21, 15-12, to pick up the win.

The Bears didn't drop a set in their sweep of the Ducks, with senior Jessica Gaffney and sophomore Iya Lindahl rolling past Washington's Taylor Agost and Josie Cole, 21-12, 21-10. Gaffney and Lindahl flip-flopped with Mirkovic and Inman to play as the No. 1 pair against Washington then returned to the No. 2 court vs. Oregon.

Sophomore Abby Waldburger made her season-debut against Oregon, subbing in for junior Mia Merino on the No. 4 pair. Waldburger and freshman Caroline Schafer rolled past the Ducks' Maggie Scott and Ronika Stone, 21-12, 21-16.

The Bears (18-5) return to Alki Beach for the second and final day of the Pac-12 North Tournament against No. 4 USC and No. 14 Stanford. Cal fell to the Trojans 3-2 earlier this season. The Bears have  yet to play the Cardinal in 2018.
