Wow....Oregon Dominates ASU...That's a surprise. Arizona with no problems at OSU. Stanford struggles with Washington. UCLA struggles with Utah. USC handles Colorado missing two key defensive starters PAC 12 is alive and well

$C's defense looked better without the two of them.

The PAC 12 is the toughest conference in the country top to bottom. 3 of the last 6 national champs have come from the conference of champions and if you look at the 2016-2020 recruiting classes you see the 4 California schools dominating the top 5 classes over that span and having the #1 and #2 classes every year. The only non PAC 12 team to even compete is Duke.

The future is bright.
 
Oregon has some speed and can play very well in chunks - they played a solid game yesterday

Washington backline does great job closing down angles just before shots taken, Stanford had a lot of long shots right to GK and didn't execute well on at least 10 corners

UCLA awesome as well, brilliant clutch shot by 21 to finish off Utah

AZ finds ways to make superior teams struggle

Colorado seems a bit off from last year. 22 isn't surprising anyone this season.

SC creeping along, kinda like last year, look to be very tough again as things heat up going toward finish line

Fun season to watch so far

Colorado is definitely off. USC had to adjust without the CB and GK and did well. GK was a bit shaky. Stanford seemed to no click offensively and has not been pressed much on d. Let’s see if that changes in the next week. The GW Goal by UCLA was 100% on the keeper. Nice shot but a floater that the keeper whiffed on. AZ defense is legit

Cal?
 
These last 3 weeks of conference play are going to be crazy. The title will come down to the last week and there are 6-8 teams below the top 2 with legitimate tournament chances.

Honestly for some reason or other I haven't seen them lately on the PAC12 Network- would like to though.

They're 3-1-1 in league I believe, so that's pretty strong - not certain of what lies ahead for them. Have they dealt with SC & UCLA yet?

They travel to SC and UCLA IN 2 weeks then finish with Stanford and frankly can beat all of them if the stars align

True....they can also get their butts handed to them if the stars align slightly differently.
Cal has lost to University of San Francisco & the University of Arizona.
Good luck to all the ladies!

Thus why I say that they are so confusing. On any given day they could beat the top teams in the country and the next day lose to a winless team.

Which isn't a surprise with the amount of talent on that team. Honestly they swim in the same talent pond as the other 3 in state juggernauts and quite honestly they are the best value on a world class education that a California resident can possibly get. Abi Kim their target forward is the most dangerous forward in the conference not named Mace and will be a key player on the U20 WNT this cycle.

The real question is why they are the only one of the California schools without a national title?
