Cal took home their 8th NCAA title last night and their 6th under head coach Dave Durden. Durden has lead the Bears to top-4 finishes every year since he took over the program in the 2007-2008 season, and they haven’t placed out of top-2 since 2010.

The system is built to be passed down so that each new season, the team builds on the success and avoids the pitfalls of the teams previously.
