Cal Returns Home To Host Charleston - California Golden Bears Athletics

The California women's basketball team (3-0) will look to keep its record unblemished when it hosts Charleston (2-1) on Thursday at 11 a.m. PT at Haas Pavilion. The game will also mark the team's annual School Haas Rock - an annual educational and community outreach event hosted by Cal that invites local elementary and middle school classrooms to experience a live university sporting event combined with educational programming.

The Golden Bears aare riding a streak of 21-straight regular season nonconference wins at Haas Pavilion - their second best in program history after winning 32 straight between the 2002-03 to 2008-09 seasons.

This marks the first-ever meeting between the two programs and Cal's first this season against a team from last year's NCAA Tournament.

Charleston is led by first-year head coach Amanda Butler who takes over a team that won last year's CAA Tournament title and earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars return Tyja Beans who was named to the All-CAA Preseason Second Team and added transfer Abby Jegede who earned All-CAA Preseason Honorable Mention honors.

Thursday's game will be streamed on ACCNX with Ashlee Jones and Dave Benz on the call.

LAST TIME OUT
In the 87-65 win over San Francisco on Sunday:

Freshman Jovana Jevtovic led all scorers and was nearly perfect setting a career-high with 18 points (8-of-9) which included two 3-pointers.
Taylor Barnes (14), Ruby Perkins (12) and Gisella Maul (10) joined Jevtovic in double figures.
Lulu Twidale led the game with nine rebounds and she along with Maul (8) and Perkins (7) combined for 24 of Cal's 45
It marked Cal's third-straight game reaching the 80-point mark and with a 20+ point margin of victory.

STARTING FIVE

Twidale is 76 3-pointers away from breaking into the NCAA top 100 career list.
Jevtovis has scored a career high in each of her first three games and her 36 total points ranks fifth among ACC rookies while her 75.0% shooting percentage ranks second overall.
Twidale's 21 total rebounds over her first three games are her most over any three-game stretch in her career.
Cal is one of three teams in the ACC with five players averaging double-digit scoring.
Cal's guards have done a great job crashing the glass so far this season as it is the only team in the country with four guards that have grabbed at least 15 boards: Shannon Dowell (22), Twidale (21), Perkins (18) and Maul (16).
