Emma Wright scored two goals late in the first half, Cal Women's Water Polo take a 5-2 lead at the half. Isabel Williams has 5 saves, including a save on a Michigan penalty shot. The winner will face USC tomorrow in the NCAA semifinal. As expected, Stanford and UCLA (one goal win over UC Irvine) will play in the other semifinal.

Bears get the win in straight sets at the No.1 pair, but also lost in straight sets at the No.4 pair.

1-1 tie so far.

LSU had rallied at No.2 to force a decisive 3rd set there.

LSU gets the win in straight sets at No.3 to go up 2-1. Cal needs to win both at No.2 (in a 3rd set, first to 15) and No.5 (won 1st set, but losing the 2nd set right now) to advance.

Season is over, but that was an exciting hour of beach volleyball action.

8th seed Stanford lost to 12th seed Florida Atlantic earlier today (before Cal vs. LSU started). Stanford lost 3-0 but 4 of the 5 matches went to a deciding 3rd set.

Bittersweet to see a Mima Mirkovic sideline interview. I'm glad that she got to experience the NCAA, but it's obviously sad that she's out due to a season-ending injury.

Oops, I completely misread how the NCAA Beach Volleyball tournament works. It's single elimination for the first round and a double-elimination for the 8 teams that survive today.
