Arizona hadn’t lost to ASU in Tucson since 2019. It was just one of three times in the 21st century that the Sun Devils had won in McKale Center. Add a fourth as the visitors weathered a strong start from the Wildcats to take the next three sets in a 3-1 victory (23-25, 25-20, 26-24, 25-20).
“I thought that we had some individual players who really struggled tonight,” Arizona head coach Dave Rubio said. “The group hasn’t really played well since the San Diego State match...There were just too many players that just weren’t on their game today.
