BERKELEY – The Golden Bears head back on the road this week and will take on Colorado in Boulder on Friday, Jan. 15 at 2:30 p.m. PT. The contest will be broadcast on Pac-12 Network/Bay Area/Mountain.
 
Freshman forward Dalayah Daniels will look to help the Bears bounce back after falling to No. 11 Oregon on Sunday.

Furthermore, her 5.60 defensive rebounds per game are the fourth-most in the conference. She has scored in double figures in four out of the last five games and six times overall this season.
 
Freshman Ugonne (Michelle) Onyiah has also been playing well since becoming a consistent starter. In her four starts, she has collected double digit points three times and is averaging 10.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.25 blocks during that time. Her single-game blocks record is three which she tallied in the Bears' most recent contest against 11th-ranked Oregon.
 
On the offensive glass, Daniels and sophomore forward Evelien Lutje Schipholt are both tied for fifth in the Pac-12 with an average of 2.80 boards per game.
 
As a team, Cal continues to commit the fewest fouls in the conference with 13.0 per game which is also the third fewest in the nation. They are also ranked fourth in the Pac-12 with 45 total blocks this year.
