  • Falling into a 2-0 hole in the match, the Dons dropped a 25-16 decision in the second set. The Golden Bears scored the first four points in the frame for a commanding 4-0 lead and never looked back as the green and gold fought from behind the entire way.
  • Trailing 17-8, a Hannah Taylor kill, a Hokulani Perez service ace, and two California block errors trimmed the deficit to 17-12.
