The University of Hawai'i softball team moved up three spots to No. 20 in the USA Softball Top 25 and two spots to No. 23 in this week's National Fastpitch Coaches Association Top 25 poll.

The Rainbow Wahine (39-11) swept a three-game series from Nevada last week to move to a perfect 17-0 in the Western Athletic Conference.

Hawai'i hosts Fresno State (33-14, 12-3 WAC), which received seven votes in this week's poll, on Friday and Saturday in its final homestand of the year.

Washington (37-5) is No. 1 in both polls.
