Arizona traveled to Long Beach to take on the Dirtbags in a two game series this week. After being suspended because of rain, the Wildcats dropped the first game, but managed a series split by taking the second.

The Wildcats were on the verge of ending their winless streak at 28 to ASU. But ASU finished the game with 4 unanswered goals, including the game-winner in OT by Darcy Charrois to beat the Cats and extend the unbeaten streak to 29.

In describing Arizona State University’s recent slump -- in which they’ve lost 5 of their last 6 games including their first three Pac-10 games -- coach Charli Turner Thorne recently referred to the Sun Devils as “a young team trying too hard”. Watching their 62-56 road loss to the University of Washington last night added meaning to Turner Thorne’s assessment.
"Janae Fulcher in her first season has come on strong. She got saddled with a bunch of fouls. I actually bet my house on one of them -- she wasn't even near the player. So I don't know, if we'll watch film and I'll either lose my house or when I see that particular person again I'll tell him he owes me something. Ummmm...I probably shouldn't say that on air." - Arizona State University coach Charli Turner Thorne with some dry humor after a 62-56 loss to the University of Washington last night.
