As the ACC's last remaining undefeated team, Cal (12-2, 4-0 ACC) can clinch the outright regular season conference title with a win over Stanford (8-1, 4-1). Should the host Cardinal prevail, the Golden Bears will need to defeat North Carolina next week to become co-champions with their crosstown rival.

ALL-AROUND GREATNESS
Cal's four everyday all-arounders rank in the top 25 in the country based on national qualifying score.
Mya Lauzon (39.550) leads the way in 6th, followed by junior
eMjae Frazier (39.435) and senior
Maddie Williams (39.435) in a tie for 11th, and senior
Ella Cesario (39.320) in 24th.
LAUZON EARNS 4TH ACC GYMNAST OF THE WEEK AWARD
After yet another outstanding performance on the mats last Sunday, senior
Mya Lauzon won her fourth ACC Gymnast of the week award this season. The Golden Bears have now secured the award five straight times and seven in eight weeks. Lauzon has won it three out of the last four weeks.
The senior all-arounder led the Bears to the highest team score in ACC history as they defeated Pitt 197.775-195.125. Lauzon won the all-around (39.700) with the second-highest score in conference history and placed no lower than second in all four events. She earned a share of the uneven bars (9.925) and floor exercise (9.95) title, placed second on the balance beam (9.925) and tied for second on vault (9.900).
Lauzon now has 28 podium finishes this season, including 15 event wins, and is the sixth-ranked all-arounder in the country. She ranks in the top 20 in all four events, including fifth on floor, where she has posted all 9.9+ routines this season.
WILLIAMS NAMED ACC GYMNAST OF THE WEEK
Maddie Williams was named ACC Gymnast of the Week after three first-place finishes at the Metroplex Challenge (Feb. 14). The senior placed second on floor with a 9.925, earned a share of the first-place title on beam (9.875) and the all-around (39.475), and earned the outright win on bars with a 9.925. Both her all-around and floor scores were season highs. Williams is one of four different Golden Bears to earn the honor this season.
LAUZON'S WALK-OFF 10 SEALS INAUGURAL ACC BIG MEET
The inaugural Big Meet of the ACC era was an instant classic as the Bears defeated No. 13 Stanford 197.550-197.400 on the final routine of the night. Cal took a 0.15-point lead into the final rotation with the Bears heading to the floor and the Cardinal to the beam. Stanford put the pressure on by earning its highest event score of the year (49.625) thanks to five scores of 9.90 or better. The Cardinal capped off its rotation with a 9.925 from Sienna Robinson to take a 0.025 lead with just one routine to go on the Bears' side. But that final routine belonged to Cal senior
Mya Lauzon, who has yet to take a sub-9.9 score on floor this year. In need of a 9.875 or better, Lauzon decided not to leave any doubts and performed the first perfect floor routine of her career to give her team a walk-off 10.
Kyen Mayhew (9.95),
Ella Cesario (9.925), and
eMjae Frazier (9.90) also had crucial performances in the rotation to set the table for Lauzon.
2024 RECAP
Cal had yet another historical season in 2024, earning its highest finish in program history as national runner-up. The Bears' final season as a Pac-12 institution concluded with their first outright conference championship after going a perfect 7-0 against Pac-12 opponents. A number of accolades were achieved along the way, including 19 All-America honors, 14 All-Pac-12 honors, and three WCGA West Region honors, headlined by
eMjae Frazier being named the Regional Gymnast of the Year. For the second straight year the Bears won their NCAA Regional and had four individual event champions. Cal also did a number on the program record book, breaking the vault record and notching the top three team scores in school history: 198.550, 198.500, 198.400.
