BERKELEY – With the final dual meet of the season in the books, the No. 7 California women's gymnastics team is set to gear up for the postseason with three-straight quad meets, starting with LSU's Purple and Gold Classic on Friday. The sixth-ranked Tigers will host Cal, No. 23 Washington and George Washington at 4 p.m. PT  at the Raising Cane's River Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
 
The Golden Bears are looking to get back into winning fashion after posting a 0-1-2 overall record the last three weeks. Their matchup with the Huskies will count towards their Pac-12 record.
 
The Purple and Gold Classic marks the team's final away meet of the regular season and gives Cal another chance to improve on its 197.535 NQS. The team is coming off its first loss of the season, falling to No. 4 Utah 198.550-197.550 last Friday.
 
BEARS ON THE AIR
The Purple & Gold Classic will not be televised or stream. Live scoring options have yet to be announced.
 
MADDIE MAKING MOVES
Sophomore Maddie Williams made history last week at Utah with a career-high 9.95 beam score and a 39.625 all-around mark. Her beam score tied the program record, and her AA score matched the fourth highest in Cal history. She also set a new season-high with a 9.85 and earned a share of her fifth bars title with a 9.95.
 
LAUZON'S LANDINGS
Sophomore Mya Lauzon has become one of the most dependable gymnasts in the lineup for the Bears this season with 17 podium finishes. She has hit a 9.900 or better on all four events this season and tied the all-time AA record with a 39.700.
 
Her beam routine has risen to one of the best in the country as she's ranked 18th with an NQS of 9.910. Twenty of her last 21 routines have gone for 9.825 or higher and 18 of those routines have been 9.85+.
 
LI LEADS THE WAY
Much of the Bears' success this season can be attributed to junior Andi Li. The three-time All-American has not only been consistent, but dominant, with 10 event wins and 18 podium finishes in just eight meets. She took home the all-around title at the Super 16 and placed second at the Wasatch Classic behind only US Olympic gold medalist Jade Carey from Oregon State. In that meet Li posted a career-high 39.675, which is the second-highest score in program history. She followed by taking second in the all-around at Arizona with a bars title and won bars, floor, and the all-around in the team's home opener with Stanford.
 
Li currently ranks sixth in the country on bars with a 9.955 average. Her season-high of 9.975 came on two occasions at the Super 16 and at Oregon State. Those marks are not only a career-highs for Li, but the second-highest score by any Bear in history. She is also ranked 29th on floor and 9th in the all-around with a 39.500 average to lead the team.
