UCLA @ Cal Live Blog

More Pac-12 this afternoon with UCLA at Cal.

Last weekend, UCLA hosted Oklahoma in the feel good meet of the year, with tons of tens being thrown about like they were candy and a tearful tribute to survivors of sexual abuse with a big group hug.

This week is going to be about hitting the magical scores to solidify the rankings with RQS. UCLA being ranked # 4 right now will want to break that 198 plus after being oh-so-close last weekend. Cal is looking to move up from the 29th spot and secure a ranking that will allow them to move up in the rankings.

Follow along with the action here and refresh the page to get the latest updates!
