BERKELEY – For the second consecutive season, the Cal women's basketball team opened conference play in victorious fashion, beating USC, 76-64, at Haas Pavilion. With the win, 20th-ranked Cal (10-2, 1-0 Pac-12) extends its win streak to seven in a row and has now won its last three meetings against the Trojans (10-2, 0-1 Pac-12). Junior center/forward Kristine Anigwe had 16 points and 13 rebounds for her third double-double of the season while senior Penina Davidson finished with 15 points, 11 of which came in the fourth quarter. Classmate Mikayla Cowling added 13 points and five assists for the Bears, while sophomore Jaelyn Brown had 10 points off the bench. USC forward Kristen Simon led all scorers with 20 points and added 11 rebounds while guard Minyon Moore added 14 points for the Trojans on 5-9 shooting from the floor.

With the win, Cal improves to 5-2 in Pac-12 openers under head coach Lindsay Gottlieb, including a perfect 3-0 mark when opening conference play at home.

Riding a three-game home winning streak, Cowling got the Bears going early, starting the game 4-4 from the floor and scoring nine of her 13 total points in the first quarter alone. After averaging just 6 points per game through Cal's first eight games of the year, Cowling has now scored in double-figures in four consecutive games, averaging 16 points per game over that stretch.

Cowling's energy helped the Bears pull away late in the first quarter. Cal went on an 11-2 run from late in the first quarter to early in the second, taking a lead they would never relinquish. The Bears defense locked down in the second quarter, outscoring USC, 17-10, in the period and holding the Trojans without a field goal for over four minutes.

The Bears took a 36-27 lead into the locker room as Anigwe made her presence felt all over the court. The unanimous Preseason All-Pac-12 selection grabbed eight of her game-high 13 rebounds in the first half and showcased her ability to score in a variety of ways. Anigwe, who entered the game with just one made three-pointer in her career, went 3-3 from beyond the arc while also dishing out a season-high three assists to go with two steals. After being held to just two points in Cal's road win at Kentucky, the two-time Honorable Mention All-American responded with 16 points on the night for her third double-double of the season. Anigwe now has 33 career double-doubles, tied for 13thamong all active players in Division I, and has posted a double-double in 13 of her 36 career games in Pac-12 play. Cal continued its strong play right out of the locker room, opening the third quarter on a 7-2 run. Freshman point guard Kianna Smith, who went scoreless in the first half, went 2-3 from three-point range in the third quarter as Cal led by as many as 17 points midway through the period. But as the Bears battled foul trouble and went cold from the floor, USC was able to capitalize, closing the third quarter on a 12-3 run.The Trojans were able to cut the Bears' lead to 52-56 with 7:50 left to play before Davidson took over. The senior from Auckland scored 11 of her 15 points in the fourth quarter, including nine consecutive points for the Bears to extend Cal's lead back to double-digits. Davidson has now scored in double-figures in four of her last five games and added seven rebounds for the Bears, including three offensive boards in the fourth quarter.Brown sealed the deal for the Bears down the stretch, going 4-4 from the foul line over the final 1:03 of the game. The sophomore guard had 10 points for the Bears in her fourth double-digit outing of the season, as Cal's bench outscored the Trojans, 18-0.

After petcha kutcha presentation the decision was made to drop the idea of choosing an emotion and focus on showcasing characters and particular characteristics of inhabitants of planets. Neptune was chosen to portray the fluidity of the person, gender and the lines between alien, human and creature. This look in particular was chosen to let it flow and not focus on precision each side, like ripple in the water, do each side different yet similar, distorting the vision and perception of view. Poseidon being the greek representation, being the fair ruler and having power over the water kingdom, he created a very fair world, focused on fair judgement and flowing as the water goes, yet having lonesome, moody and ruthless atttibutes. Therefore mimicking the Demogorgons head (a creature from Stranger Things series) as lips to portray that. And general make up inspiration is Mikayla Gottlieb (@gottmik on instagram), due to the fact that her make up has the similar feeling of fluidity and gloom to it, which is essential to this look.

BERKELEY, Calif. – Like many other programs around the country, Cal held an open practice for fans in early October, marking the beginning of official practices for Division I women’s basketball.

Die-hard Golden Bears fans who showed up last Saturday afternoon at the team’s practice facility were able to get an early glimpse of a squad that includes three promising freshmen, three sophomores, four seasoned juniors, two seniors plus a redshirt sophomore. After the practice, the team treated fans to an outdoor party in front of Haas Pavilion with food, games and a chance to mix and mingle with players and staff.

With perfect weather, Cal cheerleaders, and a stream of passersby stopping by to check out the fest, athletes and coaches were happy to talk about the upcoming campaign and plans to take the program deeper into the NCAA tournament next spring.

Last season, Cal’s season ended in a tough 86-46 loss to top-seeded Baylor in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Baylor’s home court in Waco, Texas. For senior forward Mikayla Cowling, that type of ending for 2017-18 will not be acceptable. Along with her teammates, she took that loss to heart as motivation for putting in long hours in the gym over the summer. In her words, the hard work is necessary for “making sure this year is a different result from last year” because “getting killed by 40, I never want that to happen again.”

Last season, Cal head coach Lindsay Gottlieb described the team as “hungry” at the onset of the season. The team lived up to that adjective for much of the 2016-17, starting off on a 13-game winning streak that ended in an overtime victory at Arizona State on New Year’s Day.

This year, Gottlieb said that one word was not adequate as an all-encompassing descriptor. She included it but had a bit more to say to define the 2017-18 squad.

“I think this team is at a different level,” said Gottlieb mentioning cohesion and togetherness along with hungry.

“They just are focused on being better than we’ve been. I think they’re really hungry to be back at the top of the conference.”

Going from how the team interacted in open practice and as close buddies during the outdoor festival, it is evident that this year’s Bears do enjoy being around each other and have developed good chemistry already.

In addition to their skills, they are going to need that chemistry to help them perform well in a schedule that that sees them traveling to the East Coast in the first week of the season to take on powerhouse Connecticut. The contest against UConn will be the beginning of a series between the two teams. The idea for the series was the brainchild of Huskies’ head coach Geno Auriemma.

“Geno texted me a couple of years ago and said, ‘You want to start a series?’ and my first instinct was ‘sure,’” said Gottlieb. “He even asked for a four-year series and ‘I was like wow.’”

Gottlieb indicated that playing the toughest teams early in the season is key to helping her team stay sharp and focused.

“We want to be at the highest possible level, I want our players to play on the biggest stage, I want them to compete at the highest level,” said Gottlieb.

The game at UConn is Friday, Nov. 17 at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET and will be shown on SNY and ESPN 3.

“I’m not afraid to put them on a plane and go experience that,” said Gottlieb of the challenge of playing the Huskies on their home court as the first away game for her Bears. “UConn will come back next year and that will be good for our whole community so we’re going to go out there and compete.”

Another Pac-12 school, Stanford will also face UConn early in the season. The Cardinal are set to play the Huskies Nov. 12 during the four-team “Countdown to Columbus” competition in Ohio.

The trip out East will also include a contest at Gottlieb’s alma mater, Ivy League Conference member Brown.

“To be able to take them to Brown, for me, it’ll be neat to show them the libraries that I studied in…but more importantly what my college experience meant to me. I didn’t play very much. I wasn’t the star and yet it is still very much a very meaningful place in my heart and for them to meet some of my teammates and you know the program that was so influential to me, it’s going to be very special.”

Last season, the Ivy League saw four teams earn postseason bids with Penn nearly defeating the SEC’s Texas A&M in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

“I’m a big fan of Ivy League athletics,” Gottlieb said when asked about the conference’s success in recent years.

“It’s a great chance to have a world-class and life-changing education while still playing basketball at a high level. So, a lot of those coaches in that league are my friends. We feel like at Cal we have Ivy League academics with basketball at its highest level but I also feel like the Ivy experience is unique and special.”

“I think that the basketball has only gotten better especially since my time has passed,” she joked. “they play at a higher level now.”

In addition to UConn and Brown, the schedule is filled with competitive teams from California and surrounding states, many from the West Coast Conference including BYU. In addition, Missouri will compete in the Cal Classic over the Thanksgiving holidays and a game at Kentucky will mark the end of non-conference play.

“We always try to be strategic with our non-conference schedule, to play great teams and go to interesting places, but you also want to be able to play the best local teams that are not Pac-12,” Gottlieb said. “There’s a lot of good basketball in the state of California…and a lot of the WCC schools and it’s great competition. I mean BYU has been one of the best non-Power Five schools in the last ten years by far. We have Missouri coming here, who I know they’re talking about that being the best Missouri team in the history of the program, so we have a really tough non-conference schedule.”

When Gottlieb took time to address fans Saturday afternoon from the steps of Haas Pavilion, she was effusive and sincere in thanking them for their support over the years telling them “there’s something special about this program.”

She gave them her view of 2017-18: “We are focused on making another deep NCAA run and getting back to the top of the Pac-12 conference. It is the best women’s basketball conference in the country now but we have our sights set on winning. We don’t want to just be in it, we want to win and that’s what we’re working towards every day so we appreciate you guys begin there with us.”

Cal’s plays Vanguard in an exhibition game Thursday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. PT. The Bears open the season at home against Saint Mary’s Friday, Nov. 10 at 5 p.m PT.
