Last Time Out: Cal Falls At USC

Ranked 51st last week, Cal lost at No. 54 USC, 4-1, on Friday at Marks Stadium in Los Angeles. The Bears won the doubles point, with the then-No. 41 duo of Alex Chang and Mikey Wright topping the 55th-ranked Peter Makk and Lodewijk Westrate, 6-3, on court one, and Lucas Magnaudet and former Trojan Ryder Jackson defeating Oscar Weightman and Samuel Rubell, 6-4 on court two to give Cal a 1-0 lead.

 

But the Bears faltered in singles. The Trojans ended the match when Lodewijk Westrate defeated Cal’s 119th-ranked Carl Emil Overbeck, 6-1, 2-6, 6-0, at court-two singles to clinch.

 

Cal’s match at No. 28 UCLA – slated to take place last Sunday – was rained out. The match could be rescheduled but would have to be played at some point before next week’s Pac-12 Championship.

 

Last Time Vs. Stanford

In a nonconference clash with the Cardinal on Feb. 25 at the Taube Family Tennis Stadium, Cal fell, 4-1. Cal junior Carl Emil Overbeck upset the 32nd-ranked Samir Banerjee, 2-6, 6-1, 6-3, at court-one singles, which left the Bears trailing, 3-1. The match ended when Stanford’s Hudson Rivera beat Timofey Stepanov, 6-4, 6-4, on court four to make the final score 4-1.
