As good as the No. 13 Arizona basketball team has been in McKale Center this season, consistency on the road has been tough to accomplish.

The Wildcats hope that issue was addressed over the weekend with the road trip to the state of Oregon. The Wildcats escaped with two Pacific 10 Conference road victories for the first time since the 2002-2003 season, a year in which Arizona did not lose a single Pac-10 road game and finished first in the conference.

Penalty minutes told the story for the UA Icecats in their series with Oklahoma Friday and Saturday at the Tucson Convention Center Arena.

The visiting Sooners (17-4-2) used power plays to score half of their eight goals on the weekend in 4-2 and 4-0 finishes.

Icecat head coach Leo Golembiewski said the officials "set the tone" in Friday's loss when they penalized junior defenseman Mike Pelletier seven seconds into the contest. [Read article]

For the second time in as many weeks, the Arizona gymnastics team beat a top-10 team in comeback fashion, knocking off No. 7 ASU Friday night in McKale Center.

Last weekend, the Gymcats trailed then-No. 6 Michigan State heading into the meet's final event and used a 9.9 performance by senior Katie Johnson to beat the Spartans.

It was much of the same on Friday.

Johnson's score of 9.825 on the vault, coupled with a career-best score of 9.775 by sophomore Jamie Holton, pushed the Wildcats to their first regular-season win over ASU since 1998. [Read article]

The Arizona track and field teams began their 2005 season by qualifying 29 athletes for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships in a meet with in-state rivals ASU and NAU Saturday in Flagstaff.

The men's team picked up a second-place finish while the women finished third.

The Sun Devils swept both the men's and women's side of competition for the third year in a row.

"From an individual standpoint we did great, but as for team competition, we just had too many holes," said UA head coach Fred Harvey. [Read article]

The Arizona swim and dive teams ran into the choppy waves of Stanford and California this weekend at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center, dropping three of four meets.

Saturday's meet against the Cardinal proved to be even worse for UA as Stanford picked up the sweep. [Read article]
