Here's this week's preview. I cover both Arizona matches in one because of our publishing schedule. That means both Arizona vs Cal and Arizona vs Stanford is here.

As for health of the team (and I know the thread isn't done), everyone who has played this year was healthy as late as Wednesday. Freshman MB Jennifer Wroblicky has been out with a concussion all season.

I like Cal to win this match.

Thanks, Kim. I added the info to the OP

Show proof of full vaccination and a photo ID at the vaccination checkpoint on Spieker Plaza, just outside of Haas Pavilion’s main doors

Guests without proof of vaccination over the age of 12, will NOT be permitted to enter the venue

AZ outsides continue to be inconsistent.

Yes. Rubio said he just wants Hodge to be aggressive. He is not going to worry too much about her efficiency right now.

Both she and Sofia have been up and down this season, though.

I am always so impressed with Merle Weidt. For a middle her size and without superior athleticism, she's very effective.

This was definitely a match for offensive-minded middles.

Good job for AZ to take care of business in beating CAL, but maybe closer than it should have been.

Cal missing Kat and Mirkovic not being 100% has affected them a lot to say the least
