They got wins over Oregon, Saint Mary's, and UC Davis with their lone loss coming against No. 2 Stanford.
Two players delivered perfect 4-0 weekends:
"It was a good weekend overall considering the weather conditions," head coach Hector Gutierrez said. "We showed a great battle against Stanford but we couldn't pull it out at the end. The girls played hard all weekend which is always positive.
