Arizona softball has fallen out of the two rankings systems published by D1 Softball and Softball America. However, in both traditional polls, the Wildcats maintain a spot in the Top 25 after going 1-2 against Washington last weekend.
Arizona is ranked No. 20 in the USA Today/NFCA poll. The team is ranked No. 24 in the ESPN/USA Softball poll.
The Wildcats played three close games against a Huskies team that has its own struggles with pitching. Washington came into the series 1-5 in Pac-12 play while Arizona was 0-6. Both teams were able to score runs, but they struggled to hold leads.
