BERKELEY - The California volleyball team has amended the start time of its match against Arizona State in Tempe, Ariz. on Nov. 20. The Golden Bears and Sun Devils will take the court at Wells Fargo Arena for a 7:30 p.m. PT match; the start time had previously been scheduled for 7 p.m.

Cal returns two All-Americans from a year ago including two-time selection senior outside hitter Hana Cutura. Junior setter Carli Lloyd received second-team All-America honors and All-Pac-10 recognition a year ago. The Bears also bring back plenty of firepower via starting senior middle hitter Mindi Wiley and two 2008 Pac-10 All-Freshman selections in sophomores Tarah Murrey and Shannon Hawari. The Bears posted the best record in school history a year ago finishing with a 26-7 overall record and advancing to the NCAA Regional Final for the second year in a row.

Cal opens fall practices on Monday, Aug. 10 and kicks off the 2009 season with the Nevada Marriott Courtyard/Fairfield Invitational in Reno, Nev. Aug. 28-30. For information about tickets to home matches, please visit www.CalBears.com.
