University of Arizona vs Arizona State

Arizona forward Erica Barnes, grabbing an offensive rebound from ASU’s Katie Hempen in the Wildcats’ only Pac-12 win of the season, could play the final game of her college career when the UA faces USC.

From 2010-14, Barnes shared a name β€” but not a spelling β€” with a UA women’s basketball player. Erica (with a c) starred on the court, while Erika (with a k) worked behind the scenes in McKale Center.
