BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Rather than focusing on the daunting list of defeats in a season like no other for California women’s basketball, Archer Olson and her teammates instead look for the small victories from within each game. They celebrate even the smallest signs of progress in practice, too. That might be point guard Leilani McIntosh making strides leading the offense. Maybe it’s freshman mid-season addition Mia Mastrov gaining confidence in her 3-point shot to become a perimeter threat. Or perhaps the post players committing to using their bodies on the low block to create high-percentage scoring opportunities.
