TUCSON, Ariz. – The No. 24 Wildcats travel to Corvallis, Oregon this week to compete against No. 11 Oregon State. This will be Arizona's fifth Pac 12 match-up of the 2018 season, and after a win against Stanford last week they are looking for another Pac 12 victory.
 
"We're excited to travel to Oregon this week," said head coach John Court. "We're fresh off of a home victory and we would like to continue this momentum as we're on the road for the next couple of weeks."
 
Last Week:
On Sunday, Feb. 11 the Cats upset Stanford at home during their senior meet with a final score of 195.725 to 195.025. The Cats then jumped from No. 25 in the nation to No. 24, while Stanford fell from No. 20 to No. 25.
 
Senior Victoria Ortiz took home the gold on the uneven bars with a score of 9.850, and all three of the Arizona seniors (Madison Cindric, Victoria Ortiz, and Kennady Schneider), earned a 9.850 or higher on their respective events.

Cats In Recovery:
It's mid-way through the 2018 season and Arizona is battling through injuries. Last week while competing against Stanford, freshman Payton Bellows went down during her floor routine with an injury to her Achilles. Bellows will not return to the Arizona lineup this season, but will return in spring of 2019. Freshman Laura Leigh Horton is also on the sideline with an injury to her foot and hand that she sustained in practice, she will return in Spring of 2019 as well.

Sophomore Jenny Leung is still battling through a sprained ankle, she will likely return to the Arizona lineup in 2-3 weeks. 
 
"We never want any athlete to get hurt," said head coach John Court. "They're both incredible young women, and we will support them through their recoveries with every resource available. We look forward to seeing them back on the floor for the 2019 season."
