Top-ranked Wildcats riding 37-game home winning streak

Mike Candrea has learned a thing or two during his 15-plus seasons as the head coach of the Arizona softball team.

Among other things, Candrea has come to realize that in the always-competitive Pacific 10 Conference - which has seen one of its eight teams claim 14 of the 19 College World Series titles - road wins can be hard to come by.

This reality of Pac-10 softball makes it critical for teams to take care of business at home, which the top-ranked Wildcats have a chance to do this weekend.
