WEEKLY SNEAK PEEK
- The Mustangs saw their 12-match Big West start come to an end last week against second-place Long Beach State in a five-set thriller at Mott Athletics Center, a potential championship final preview at the site of this year’s Big West Championship.
- Cal Poly rectified the stumble by officially clinching a spot in the postseason field by sweeping Cal State Fullerton the next day.
- The weekend statistically belonged to Fredrick, who posted 37 kills across the two matches, including a team-leading 19 in Friday's five-set loss to Long Beach State, and hit .206 over eight sets while averaging 4.63 kills per set.
- Beshear also turned in a strong two-match stretch with 24 kills, five aces, 19 digs and two block assists, and Pulling was efficient as ever with 14 kills on 27 swings (.444). Haury averaged 9.63 assists and 3.88 digs per set over the weekend, which included a single-match career high of 21 digs against LBSU.
- Cal Poly closes its home slate against Utah Valley on Friday, Nov. 13 at 5 p.m., followed by Sacramento State on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 4 p.m. The Mustangs close the regular season on the road at UC Riverside (Nov. 20) and California Baptist (Nov. 21).
- Cal Poly continues and completes its lengthiest road trip of the season when visiting Grand Canyon on Wednesday, Nov. 11 (6 p.m. PT), reigning Big Sky Tournament champion Idaho on Friday, Nov. 13 (5 p.m. PT) and Montana State on Sunday, Nov. 15 (3 p.m. PT).
- After finishing 10th nationally last season with 10.8 three-pointers per game, Cal Poly knocked down 16 at No. 4/5 Arizona (Nov. 5) and ranks 11th among 361 programs at 14.0 per matchup.
- The Big West’s leading scorer last season, junior Hamad Mousa – following a 30-point effort at No. 4/5 Arizona (Nov. 5) – enters Wednesday’s matchup at Grand Canyon ranked 18th nationally and second in the conference at 24.0 points per matchup.
- The Mustangs opened their season with two wins against non-Division-I opponents, beating UC Merced and Whittier College on home court last week. To start the new week, Cal Poly fell for the first time with a 64-51 Monday night loss at Idaho State.
- Sumer Lee led Cal Poly with 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting, including a 3-pointer, and added five rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes. She now leads the team with 11.7 PPG.
- Avery Knapp chipped in eight points off the bench, going a flawless 6-for-6 from the free-throw line, while Ysabella Von Seipler and Gabby Robinson each scored seven. Robinson rounded out her effort with five rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block in a team-high 39 minutes.
- Back home on Wednesday for another non-conference matchup, the Mustangs host Seattle (5-25 overall last season) at 6 p.m. inside Mott Athletics Center.
- The Mustangs take on Big Ten foe Michigan State in their 2026-27 home opener at 7:30 p.m. Friday inside Mott Athletics Center.
- Tickets can be purchased HERE and the dual will be streamed live on FloWrestling.
- The dual is Cal Poly’s first of the season and the Mustangs will see three of their four nationally-ranked wrestlers take the mat against the Spartans — No. 17 Koda Holeman at 125 pounds, No. 24 Ceasar Garza at 184 pounds and No. 33 Levi Bussey at 197 pounds. Zeth Romney, ranked No. 17 in the country at 141 pounds, won’t wrestle until sometime in December as he continues his recovery from last year’s season-ending injury.
- Cal Poly is 3-1 all-time against Michigan State with the two teams last squaring off on Dec. 14, 1979, in San Luis Obispo. The Mustangs won that dual 26-12.
- The Mustangs opened their 2026-27 season less than two weeks ago at the Navy Classic. Junior Anthony Berg and Bussey, a sophomore, highlighted performances for the 10 Cal Poly wrestlers that took part in the tournament. Berg went a perfect 4-0 to claim the 157-pound Pool B title while Bussey defeated a pair of nationally ranked opponents at 197 pounds and came up just short to 2025 All-American Mac Stout from Pitt by a 2-1 decision in the first-place match. Thanks to his showing, Bussey earned Pac-12 Performer of the Week honors.
- The Cal Poly cross country program descends upon Arcade Creek Cross Country Course in Sacramento on Friday to take part in the NCAA West Regional meet.
- Action starts at 9 a.m. Friday with the women’s 6K followed by the men’s 10K at 10 a.m. You can follow the live results HERE.
- The West Regional is one of nine regional meets that will be held around the country on Friday, with team and individual berths to the NCAA Championships up for grabs. In order to secure an automatic berth to nationals, Cal Poly and the rest of the teams around the country will need to place in the top two in their respective region. With 18 total auto bids available across the nine regional meets, the remaining 14 spots for the 32-team field on the men's and women's sides will be selected by the NCAA with performances at regionals along with results throughout the season playing an important role in the selection of the at-large teams.
- Individually, the top four finishers in each regional who do not belong to an automatic qualifying or at-large team will automatically advance to the NCAA Championships provided they finish in the top 25 in their respective regional.
- Fifth-year Tatiana Cornejo is a two-time All-West Region honoree, placing 23rd in 2023 and 25th in 2024. The Elk Grove, Calif. native is fresh off shattering the Big West Championships meet record and the Ag/Ops Course 6K record en route to capturing the women’s Big West individual title two weeks ago in Riverside. Cornejo is the fifth different Mustang to capture the Big West women’s individual title (seventh overall) and the first since Schuyler Gooley in 2024.
- As a team, the men and women both placed third at the Big West Championships. The California Baptist men and Utah Valley women won the team titles, spoiling the Mustangs’ pursuit of a historic fifth straight sweep of the men’s and women’s conference championships.
- Following Saturday’s home finale against Northern Arizona, Cal Poly enjoys a scheduled bye week ahead of the Saturday, Nov. 14 Big Sky round of games.
- The Mustangs close the regular season Saturday, Nov. 21 with a rivalry matchup at UC Davis. Kickoff on ESPN+ is 1 p.m. for Cal Poly, which looks to regain bragging rights in the Battle for the Golden Horseshoe.
