Arizona has not lost in almost three weeks, riding a 9-game win streak that includes a sweep of Cal to open Pac-12 play. But the competition is about to take a big step up this weekend when the Wildcats (12-3, 3-0) open a 3-game series Friday night at 13th-ranked UCLA (12-3, 2-1).
The road trip was supposed to be four games and begin Wednesday, but a midweek trip to Cal State Fullerton was called off last weekend due to forecasted rain. That’s the first postponed game this season for the UA, and if it doesn’t get made up it leaves only 52 on the regular-season schedule.
