Cal Volleyball vs. Utah on Pac-12 Networks Open Thread

Sunday, Oct. 13
7 p.m. PT - Utah (13-4, 2-3) at Cal (10-4, 3-2)
Haas Pavilion - Berkeley, Calif.

Cal All-Time Series vs. the Utes: 6-3
Last meeting: W, 3-2 (11-19-2012)

The Utes already have two conference wins under their belt: against Colorado and Washington State. Of course, Cal Volleyball fans may remember the epic 5 set win that the Bears had against them last year, which ensured the extension of Cal's streak of making it to the NCAA tournament.

Can the Bears avoid a letdown and defeat the Utes before another big test next week at Washington?

In the latest version of Cal Volleyball 101: Lara Vukasovic talks about the Opposite position (which Christina Higgins has successfully and effectively took over after the graduation of Correy Johnson):
