It’s time to kick off the grind.
After riding a six-game winning streak to close their non-conference schedule, the ASU volleyball team will begin conference play in the first leg of the Territorial Cup against the University of Arizona on Thursday night.
Last year, the Wildcats and the Sun Devils split their season series, with each team winning the home match-up.
However, the 2017 chapter of this historic rivalry introduces a plethora of new storylines. ASU has a new leader at the helm in head coach Sanja Tomasevic, and Arizona brings forth a new team that lacks four starters from its Sweet 16 team last season.
