After losing its 10th consecutive Pac-12 game Sunday, Arizona goes out of conference for a one-off Wednesday night matchup at GCU.
Brett Fera The UA softball team, unranked this week for the first time all season, has found non-conference games to be a good reprieve from the gauntlet that is the Pac-12 schedule.
Amid a conference losing streak that reached 10 straight after No. 2 UCLA swept the then-No. 24 Wildcats last weekend at Hillenbrand Stadium, Arizona happens to be 6-0 against teams from outside the Pac-12 footprint. That includes a trio of 2-0 marks against San Diego , Georgetown and New Mexico State .
One continual bright spot for the Wildcats even in recent defeat: Arizona is still arguably the best overall hitting team in the Pac-12, leading in on base percentage, slugging percentage, runs scored and RBIs, while third in home runs and second, by just a single one-thousandth of a point, in batting average. First-place UCLA as a team is hitting .343 while Arizona is at .342
While speaking ahead of Arizona’s final matchup with UCLA this past weekend, Lowe spoke about her team making the “choice” to “either give in or absolutely fight like hell.”
