UCLA, USC and UTAH all hold 3-0-1 records, and WASHINGTON STATE is the final unbeaten team in the league with a 2-0-1 mark.

USC, which had been previously unranked, hopped up to No. 19 after their undefeated weekend, and WASHINGTON received votes.

• USC took home two weekly honors this week as Reilly Parker was voted Offensive Player of the Week and Caroline Stanley was named the Goalkeeper of the Week. UCLA’s Abby Dahlkemper received Defensive Player of the Week honors for the Bruins.

• Four Pac-12 women’s soccer players were named to the Senior CLASS Award watch list today.
