The Bruins need a tie to guarantee at least a share of the Pac-10 title and with one win will claim the championship outright ... Only two teams have ever finished with a perfect 9-0-0 mark in Pac- 10 play as the 1997 UCLA squad and the 2002 Stanford squad both accomplished the feat ...

CALIFORNIA (12-5-0, 4-3-0) comes in at No. 32, ARIZONA STATE (9-9-1, 3-4-1) at No. 39 and WASHINGTON STATE (10-4-3, 3-3-1) at No. 58 ...

Washington State dropped two games by just one goal each as they faced No. 14 Cal (2-1) and No. 2 Stanford (2-1, OT) ... Despite the setback, the Cougars have been unbeaten in eight of their last 11 games, earning six wins and two ties ... SR F Brooke Bemis scored the first goal of the match against Cal on Friday ... It was her ninth of the season and 12th of her career, moving her into a tie for 10th place on the Cougar single-season and career lists, respectively ... The Sun Devils are also looking to get back on the winning track as they take on ARIZONA (6-12-1, 1-6-1) on Fri., Nov. 9 ... Arizona State has played well as of late taking second-ranked Stanford to double-overtime, ending in a 0-0 draw ... The Sun Devils also went unbeaten in four of seven games during the month of October ... Arizona got a score from SO F Analisa Marquez, her third of the year, in Friday's game against USC ...

The Trojans netted their 10th shutout on the year in the 1-0 win over ASU ...
