"We worked very hard to bring in a group we feel includes outstanding young women who are great fits at Cal athletically and academically. I believe this is the highest rated recruiting class in program history. In combination with the class we brought in this past year and with our veteran players, we're really excited about the upcoming 2020-21 season."
