 Good evening, Golden Bears. I'm Caterina Church here at Haas Pavilion with senior middle blocker Janelle Jordan. Janelle, thank you so much for meeting with me tonight. Thank you. So you guys just had a tough loss against number 13 UCLA. What goes through your mind when you're in a tough game like that against such a tough competitor? The first thing is just getting out of that slump or getting out of that rotation that we got stuck in. So you just kind of want to work through it, stay as a team, not get caddy on the court and kind of go on to the next point because the pass is a pass, so you've got to keep pushing forward. It's still a game and we still want to close that gap as close as possible. It's all a mental game at that point. Absolutely. And speaking of pushing forward, you guys are 9 and 16. You have a game up against USC this upcoming weekend, who is the defending Pact Hill champion. How are you all preparing? We have practice tomorrow morning. We're scouting them tomorrow and we're going to change our game tonight as in the past. And so it's all about how we play on Saturday. We all have a positive mindset. Can't throw them a negative or else it's not going to help us go forward and beat USC. Yeah. And that positive mindset that you speak of, you said was at a young age, your father who himself was a former professional athlete, has instilled a strong sense of determination and positivity in you that you've clearly exuded on the court tonight. How has your family inspired you throughout your sports career? Well, my dad especially, just because he did play such a tough sport and it is all a mental game and you have to get through stuff. He always told me like be that strong leader, be that voice, like help your teammates out. Like even if you're down, like keep a positive mindset because people react off of the way you play and they go off the body language. So like your presence and your attitude and your voice is going to help those around you be better. So I've always grown up around just staying positive and helping other people out and just kind of pushing through the hard times because like people feed off energy. And so especially on the court with six girls like positive energy is something big. And I like to bring that support no matter like how down we are. Absolutely. And now you're a senior finishing off your last year at Cal. How is this year compared to the past few seasons you've had? It's a good year. We have a different coach and he's done some great things with this program and I've enjoyed it. I've really enjoyed playing with these girls and I've gained a lot of sisters. I gained whole new family. I call my coach his dad so some more dads in my life. But it's really been an experience that I can't describe but I will never forget. And so counting down these last few games is going to be heartbreaking but I put in a lot of work and I know that I left it all on the court so I don't have anything to hang my head on low. Well thank you so much for speaking of me tonight Janelle. Thank you. I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your season. Thank you so much. Once again I'm Katarina Church from Cal TV Sports. And I'm Janelle Jordan. Go Bears! It's a big deal last last spring you know you had that big decision.
