The Arizona Wildcats faced their first top-10 opponent this weekend since early March, when they went 1-2 in a three-game series against defending champion Florida State.
Prior to Pac-12 play, the Wildcats dominated teams ranked outside the top 10, but couldn’t quite make it happen against the sport’s elite. Things haven’t changed over the ensuing two months if the Washington series was any indication.
The most serious “down” of the weekend was the loss of Reyna Carranco. The Wildcats’ best hitter was hit by Taran Alvelo in the first inning of Saturday’s game, causing fractures in one hand and in the thumb on her other hand.
