With the regular season behind them, the Gymcats turn their attention to something the program has never accomplished - winning a Pacific 10 Championship.

No. 12 UA (10-6, 4-3 Pac-10) travels to Stanford, Calif., tomorrow to face off against the best the conference has to offer.

While just six Pac-10 schools carry women's gymnastics programs, five of the six are currently ranked in the Top 20 nationally, with two-time defending champion UCLA leading the way at No. 1.

The Gymcats narrowly defeated the top-ranked Bruins in McKale Center on Jan. 25, by a score of 195.175-195.100.

While the Gymcats know they will be competing beyond this weekend in the NCAA regionals, the location and opponent of their NCAA regional matchup is yet to be determined.

"We have come together at the right time," freshman Monica Bisordi said. "Right now our team is peaking, and our confidence level is where it should be."

Senior All-American Randi Liljenquist, sophomore Andi McCabe, and freshmen Katie Johnson and Bisordi have paced the team for the length of the season.

Liljenquist has carried the team as of late, scoring two perfect 10 scores in the past two weeks, along with setting numerous school records in the process. Liljenquist is ranked in the Top 20 individually in vault, beam and floor, capped by a No. 7 ranking nationally in the all-around.

McCabe currently ranks fourth nationally on the vault, while Johnson holds a No. 4 ranking on the floor. Bisordi is No. 13 on the beam and No. 25 on the vault.

Head coach Bill Ryden said the team recognizes the importance the Pac-10 Championship can play on the outcome of its season.

"Our team will not be lacking in motivation," Ryden said. "Every week our goal as a team is to finish a meet without counting a bad routine. We have been very consistent throughout the year on vault and floor and are getting better performances on beam."

Ryden said he sees this as an important stepping stone for the team in their quest to succeed at regionals, and ultimately in the NCAA national competition.

"It sounds simple, but we just need to keep doing what we've been doing every week," Ryden added. "Our team has worked hard and has earned everything we have accomplished so far, but we know that we are still far from finished."
