California Golden Bears Set to Host Cal Poly Mustangs at Haas Pavilion

As the California Golden Bears prepare to welcome the Cal Poly Mustangs to Haas Pavilion, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The upcoming game, scheduled for November 13th, is set against the backdrop of some impressive performances by the Golden Bears in their recent outings.

The California Golden Bears have been on a roll lately, showcasing their dominance on home turf. Their last game at Haas Pavilion against Santa Clara Broncos on November 9th ended in a decisive victory with a score of 71-56. The team's offensive prowess was evident as they shot an impressive 46 percent from the field and an exceptional 83 percent from the free-throw line. With such shooting efficiency, it's clear that CAL has found its rhythm and will be looking to carry this momentum into their next game.

Defensively, CAL has also been formidable; they managed to rack up ten steals and four blocks against SCU while maintaining discipline throughout the game despite committing 19 personal fouls. This defensive solidity combined with their offensive firepower makes them a formidable opponent for any team that steps into Haas Pavilion.

Looking at CP's performance so far this season doesn't reveal any immediate threats that should worry CAL fans excessively. However, underestimating any opponent can lead to unexpected outcomes – something that coach Charmin Smith is likely reminding her players as they prepare for Sunday’s matchup.

The Mustangs will come into this game seeking redemption after some challenging games of their own. They'll need to tighten up their defense and improve upon their shooting percentages if they hope to stand a chance against CAL's robust gameplay.

With both teams eager for victory, it’s expected that Haas Pavilion will witness an intense battle where only one can emerge victorious. Fans should look forward not only to seeing whether CAL can maintain its high scoring average but also if they can continue stifling opponents defensively as effectively as in past games.

For those who bleed blue and gold, mark your calendars: The California Golden Bears face off against the Cal Poly Mustangs on November 13th at 3:00 PM PST in Berkeley’s own Haas Pavilion. While there won’t be broadcast networks covering this event live, dedicated fans won’t want to miss out on what could potentially be another showcase of CAL’s growing dominance in women's basketball this season.
