This is the second straight season that Rosenqvist, a sophomore, and Hauger, a senior, will compete in NCAA singles and the first time that either Rosenqvist or Mraz – also a sophomore – will vie for the NCAA doubles crown. In 2018, Hauger and Rosenqvist fell in the NCAA singles round of 64. In Orlando, Hauger and Rosenqvist seek to win Cal's third NCAA singles title, with Jana Juricova winning the most recent NCAA championship for the Bears in 2011.

Rosenqvist, a native of Onsala, Sweden, has a 23-17 record that includes wins over big-time opponents including South Carolina's Ingrid Gamarra Martins – currently ranked fourth – 7-5, 6-1; Vanderbilt's Fernanda Contreras, now ranked sixth, 2-6, 6-4, 6-0; N.C. State's Anna Rogers, ranked ninth, 7-6(4), 6-1; and Pepperdine's 36th-ranked Ashley Lahey, 6-3, 6-7(2), 6-4, to clinch Cal's 4-3 upset of the seventh-ranked Waves.
 
A product of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Hauger boasts a record of 24-9. The Cal co-captain has posted her share of big wins this season, including one against Florida's Ida Jarlskog – then ranked ninth and now 15th – 6-4, 7-6(5), that clinched Cal's 4-3 upset of No. 11 Florida; a 6-1, 7-6(5) win over Pepperdine's 14th-ranked Evgeniya Levashova; and a 6-1, 6-4 result against Stanford's 32nd-ranked Melissa Lord in the quarterfinals of the ITA Northwest Regional Championships.
 
Rosenqvist and Mraz – with an 8-8 record – will attempt to win the Cal's sixth NCAA doubles championship and the first since Juricova and Mari Andersson captured the title for the Bears in 2009. Two of those Cal doubles championships belong to head coach Amanda Augustus, who as a Cal player teamed with Amy Jensen to triumph in 1998 and 1999.
 
Among Mraz and Rosenqvist's big wins this season were a 6-2 upset of Arizona State's Lauryn John-Baptiste and Ilze Hattingh, who were then ranked eighth and now ranked No. 4; a 7-6(3) upset of UCLA's fourth-ranked Gabby Andrews and Ayan Broomfield; and a 6-3 upset of Pepperdine's sixth-ranked Lahey and Levashova. A strong doubles partner, Mraz is also ranked 62nd along with Katerina Stloukalova, with the Europeans posting a 7-1 record this season.

Last Time: Cal Ends NCAA Run In Malibu
An NCAA round of 64 win over Long Beach State – Anna Bright clinched the 4-2 victory – pit the 17th-ranked Golden Bears against a familiar foe in the sixth-seeded and sixth-ranked Pepperdine Waves, whom Cal had beaten, 4-3, during the regular season. Cal also won its last postseason match against the Waves, 4-2, in 2016.

But history meant nothing on May 4, when the Bears lost 4-0 to Pepperdine in the NCAA round of 32. The host Waves clinched its trip to the super regionals when the 53rd-ranked Jessica Failla defeated Cal junior Katerina Stloukalova, 6-3, 6-3, at the Ralphs-Straus Tennis Center. Cal ended the team portion of the season with a 13-9 overall record (6-4 Pac-12).
 
Bears Claim Pac-12 Honors
Cal collected several conference accolades for their on-court and classroom successes over the past season, with Orlando-bound Julia Rosenqvist and Olivia Hauger along with Anna Bright earning All-Pac-12 selection, and Bright, Hauger, Jasie Dunk and NCAA doubles debutante Hana Mraz claiming Pac-12 All-Academic honors.
 
Rosenqvist was named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team, while Hauger and Bright – currently ranked 79th in singles and with Dunk ranked 54th in doubles – earned All-Pac-12 honorable mention. Bright was on the Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team, with Hauger, Dunk and Mraz taking honorable mention. Bright also earned the Golden Bear Award in early May for boasting the best GPA on the team.
 
Rosenqvist Twice Named Pac- Player Of The Week
Julia Rosenqvist earned Pac-12 Player of the Week honors twice this season, with the Swede collecting her second accolade in March for winning all four of her matches as the Golden Bears routed Arizona, 7-0, and defeated Arizona State, 5-2, in Berkeley. That marked Cal's 43rd all-time Pac-12 Player of the Week honor. Rosenqvist also paired with Hana Mraz to clinch the doubles point against both Arizona teams. The 6-1 sophomore was named Pac-12 Player of the Week in February after starring in Cal's upset of Pepperdine.
 
Last Year: Three Bears Reach NCAA Singles
Olivia Hauger, Anna Bright and Julia Rosenqvist all competed in the 2018 NCAA Singles Championship in Winston-Salem, N.C., but the three Bears all fell in the opening round of 64.
 
Hauger – ranked 50th – ran into an experienced opponent in Florida's 18th-ranked and Nos. 9-16-seeded Anna Danilina, who prevailed, 7-5, 6-0. The 36th-ranked Rosenqvist, playing her first semester of college tennis, lost to Oklahoma State's 39th-ranked Megan McCrary, 4-6, 6-1, 6-3. The 45th-ranked ranked Bright, also a freshman, dropped a 7-6(1), 6-2 result to Denver's 62nd-ranked Julia O'Laughlin.
