ONES GETTING IT DONE
Cal's court-one pair of junior Portia Sherman and sophomore Emma Donley have enjoyed a successful season in the top spot of the lineup boasting a 15-4 overall record. The two Bears have won six of their last seven matches, all of which have come against ranked opponents. They have nine total ranked wins on the year including a dual-clinching win over reigning national champion USC.

DREIBHOLZ MAKES HISTORY
Senior Ella Dreibholz became the program's all-time wins leader with her 84th career victory on March 1. Playing alongside fellow senior Ella Sears as the 4s pair, the two Ella's defeated the Sacramento State pairing of Victoria Marthaler and Mia Guevara 21-13, 21-14. Dreibholz collected 28 wins as a freshman, 25 as a sophomore, 25 more as a junior, and boasts a 14-5 record this year.

INAUGURAL MPSF SEASON
After spending the last nine years in the Pac-12, the Golden Bears are officially in their MPSF era. Many familiar faces make up the new conference, including Oregon, USC, Stanford, UCLA, and Washington. Grand Canyon joins the mix this year and a quartet of top-tier teams in Florida State, LSU, South Carolina, and Texas will join in 2026.

THE STAFF
Meagan Owusu is in her ninth season in charge of the program in 2025. Under her leadership, the Bears have moved into the national conversation of NCAA beach volleyball, finishing last season as the seventh-ranked program, which is a school record. Cal has now finished in the top 12 for seven consecutive years. Joseph Mayer is in his fourth season overall with the team. He became the program's associate head coach in July 2023 while former volunteer coach Dancer Styles was promoted to assistant coach. The coaching trio helped bring Cal to new heights with its second consecutive NCAA Championship win in its third straight appearance last year.
