The No. 64 women’s team (10-11, 5-4) pulled out a 4-3 win at San Diego last Saturday, on the same courts they will play on this week, to clinch the No. 5 seed and move above .500 in conference play on the season. They will face No. 45 Saint Mary’s (13-8, 7-2), the No. 4 seed, Thursday at noon. With a win, the Cougars would play Friday at 10 a.m. PDT.
