The LA schools and the Arizona schools will have one thing in common when they meet up this weekend. Both are coming off recent stretches of having to face Stanford, California, Oregon and Oregon State all in row. Before Cal dropped out of the rankings, that meant going up against four straight ranked teams—three in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll.
UCLA (9-9, 2-4 Pac-12), Arizona (13-5, 3-4 Pac-12) and Arizona State (13-5, 4-3 Pac-12) were all able to salvage at least one win over those two weeks. USC (11-6, 1-5 Pac-12) was swept.
In fact, this season has not been kind to the Women of Troy.
