The Aztecs, which had a three-match winning streak snapped in the defeat, fell to 5-3 overall while the Bears improved to 6-1 on the campaign.
California claimed the doubles point by winning all three doubles matches. In a matchup of nationally ranked doubles teams, 46th-ranked Raquel Kops-Jones teamed with Jody Scheldt to defeat 52nd-ranked Lindsey Hedberg and Silvia Tornier, 8-6.
