Bears Picked Fourth in Pac-12 Preseason Coaches Poll
The Pac-12 announced its preseason coaches poll Monday, with Cal picked to finish fourth in the conference race. It's the Bears' highest placement on the poll since 2018 and matches their 2022 finish. UCLA was picked to finish first, followed by Stanford in second and USC in third. Rounding out the top five was Washington State in fifth.
 
Wy Named Preseason All-Pac-12
Sophomore Goalkeeper Teagan Wy was named to the inaugural preseason All-Pac-12 team as voted on by the conference's head coaches. Wy spent 165 minutes between the posts last season as a freshman and did not allow a goal in her five appearances.  
 
In May, the Rancho Santa Margarita native earned a spot on the U.S. Women's Youth National Team's CONCACAF U-20 roster and helped lead her country to a second-place finish in the prestigious tournament. She started in four of the team's five matches and earned three wins, including a shutout.
 
Home Sweet Home
Following their season-opening road trip, the Bears now return home to Edwards Stadium for a five-match homestand. The two-week stint begins with their home opener against USF. Three of the five matches will be broadcast live on Pac-12 Networks.
 
2022 In Review
The Bears are coming a strong 2022 season in which they posted a 10-5-6 overall record with a 5-3-3 Pac-12 mark to finish fourth in the conference. It was Cal's best finish since 2015 and capped off with a return to the NCAA Championship, the 13th postseason berth under head coach Neil McGuire.
