NCAA Women’s Weekend Preview

By Emily Mason

PHOENIX, Ariz. January 19. WITH conference meets still a few weeks away, the top Division I college teams head back to the pool this weekend for some exciting matchups. Those teams who have been dormant for the past month or more are finally going to see some action.

1.Georgia: Last Saturday, the Lady Bulldogs defeated Texas on their home turf. They’re back at it again this weekend playing host to Tennessee.

2.Auburn: Big-time SEC rivals Auburn and Florida go at it this weekend when Auburn travels to Gainesville to battle the Gators at their home pool. Not only will there be good individual matchups, these relays should rock!

3.Stanford: Talk about staying dry, these ladies haven’t competed in dual-meet action since the end of November. That all ends this weekend as Stanford hosts Arizona on Friday and Arizona State on Saturday.

4.Florida: Not only are the Gators taking on Auburn, but on Friday they host Alabama and Arkansas as well. The women last defeated Louisiana State in Baton Rouge.

5.Arizona: Tomorrow Arizona heads up north to Palo Alto to duel with Stanford and on Saturday they take on Cal at home. The Lady Wildcats were making a splash early this month when they defeated Oregon and Washington.

6.Cal: The Bears host Arizona State tomorrow and Arizona on Saturday. They haven’t competed since the beginning of December and these two meets will be their last at home.

7.UCLA: These Bears have the weekend off and can look forward to hosting Cal and Stanford at the end of the month. In their last meet UCLA defeated Pacific.

8.SMU: The Mustangs are fresh off of a win over North Texas and will be back in action tomorrow when they take on Rice University.

9.Wisconsin: The Badgers have the weekend off and will hit the deck at the end of the month for the Big 10 Quads. The last time you saw them, the Badger women defeated Hawaii at home.

10.Texas: The Longhorns are riding high after winning the State Farm Lone Star Showdown defeating Texas A&M. At the end of the month the women will travel to Tucson, Arizona to take on the Wildcats.
