Last Time: Bears Beat Ducks In Pac-12 Opener
Nineteenth-ranked Cal began Pac-12 play 1-0 after beating Oregon, 5-2, on March 8 in Eugene, Oregon, as Katerina Stloukalova clinched the overall win and – with Maria Smith – clinched the doubles point for the Golden Bears. Stloukalova bested Daniela Nasser, 6-4, 6-1, at court-two singles to secure the victory. In doubles, the Cal junior and Smith, a senior co-captain, defeated Taryn Fujimori and Julia Eshet, 6-1, on court three to give Cal a 1-0 lead.
