After a week off from conference play, the seventh-ranked Arizona Wildcats softball team returns to action Thursday at 6 p.m. MST when they begin a three-game series against No. 24 Stanford.
The Wildcats (35-7, 12-0) are currently riding a 17-game winning streak as they enter the tough half of their Pac-12 schedule.
Here are some things to watch for at Hillenbrand Stadium this weekend.
