The California women’s tennis team is gearing up to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Championship at the Hellman Tennis Complex. The 10th-ranked Golden Bears secured an at-large berth into the 64-team field, setting the stage for an exciting weekend of tennis action.

Cal will face off against Sacramento State in the opening round on Friday at 2 p.m., following a match between BYU and Auburn at 11 a.m. The winners of Friday’s matches will advance to the second round on Saturday, with the opportunity to move on to the NCAA Super Regional.

Head coach Amanda Augustus expressed her excitement about hosting the tournament, highlighting the hard work put in by the players to earn this opportunity. The Bears have had a successful season so far, boasting an 18-6 overall record and earning the No. 4 seed in the recent Pac-12 Championship.

Cal’s impressive performance this season includes victories over top-ranked teams such as UCLA and Pepperdine. With a strong history of success in the NCAA tournament under Coach Augustus, the Bears are poised to make a deep run in this year’s championship.

In addition to team success, several Cal players are candidates for selection in the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships, further adding to the excitement surrounding the program.
