Coming off the program’s best-ever season—finishing second in the country—expectations are high for the Golden Bears entering 2025 representing a new conference. Stars Mya Lauzon and eMjae Frazier are back to headline a squad capable of another team final, but with a handful of key routines needing replacing, California’s lauded freshman class will be looked upon to make an immediate impact.
2024 Rewind
No. 2 overall | No. 3 at Pac-12 Championships | No. 3 in regular season | NCAA Team Final
Nothing puts a disappointing conference meet finish in the rearview mirror better than ending the season as NCAA runners-up. The Golden Bears were a perpetual top-three team in 2024, and while that may be more difficult in 2025, they’re still plenty capable of matching the feat. California’s toughest test in its conference race will be Bay Area rival Stanford, as the Golden Bears open as heavy favorites in their inaugural ACC season. Yes, the Atlantic Coast Conference.
