San Jose State has struggled to start their season, rattling off seven straight losses, including one to Saint Mary's 3-2 on March 1st. San Francisco will also look to be avenging a loss to the Gaels, as they dropped to them 5-0 on March 5th. The Dons are 1-4 in the early season. Oregon has gotten off to a 5-2 start to the season, and will be heading to Tucson for a mid season Pac 12 tournament after this series of games this weekend.
