SEATTLE – The Huskies head right back to California this week, traveling to the Bay Area after paying a visit to Southern California last weekend. After facing some of the top competition in the NCAA last weekend, Washington (2-4) will look to put the experience to good use and attempt to string some wins together against some more tough competition.
Â
The first stop for the Huskies will be in Folsom, Calif. where they will take on Sacramento State for the third year in a row. First serve will be Thursday at 4:30 p.m. The Hornets are 4-7 on the season so far, winning their first three in a row before losing seven-straight before winning their last match, 3-2, vs. Boise State, reversing an earlier 0-5 loss to the Broncos.
Â
Washington then faces three more Pac-12 opponents over a two day span. The Dawgs will play at California for the first time ever, visiting the Bears on Friday for a 2 p.m. dual. Saturday, UW pays its first visit to Stanford's home courts for a double-header, playing Oregon first at 9 a.m. and then taking on the Cardinal at 3 p.m.
Â
California and Stanford are both "receiving votes" in the AVCA top-15 rankings. The Cardinal are essentially the 19th-ranked team and Cal is No. 20. In the DiG Magazine poll it's Cal at No. 18 and Stanford at No. 20.
Â
The Bears are currently 10-7 overall and have played five straight 3-2 matches, winning the first two but losing their last three, including a 2-3 loss against Stanford on Tuesday. Cal and UW have three common opponents, with Cal losing 0-5 to Long Beach State and USC, and 1-4 to UCLA. Nicole Anderson and Iya Lindahl are 12-6 at the No. 4 spot and Teya Neff and Bridget Gustafson are 12-6 at No. 5. Washington won the first meeting between the teams last year in the Pac-12 tournament.
Â
Oregon is one of the few teams with fewer matches played than the Huskies, as the Ducks are 1-3 with all four matches decided by one point. Oregon lost twice to Portland in early March, then had a month off before playing again, getting a win over Sacramento State, 3-2, before losing 2-3 to Boise State last week. Washington beat Oregon 3-2 in Seattle last season.
Â
Stanford is now 10-4 on the year and will play Oregon and Boise State before facing the Huskies. Kathryn Plummer and Jenna Gray are the No. 1 pair for Stanford and are 8-6 on the season while Courtney Bowen and Kat Anderson are 10-4 at the bottom of the lineup. The Huskies have a 1-0 series lead on Stanford with a win in the Pac-12 tourney last year.
