A recurring theme for Arizona volleyball has been errors at inopportune times. It was once again the theme on Friday evening as the Wildcats lost to No. 7 Stanford in straight sets sets (25-23, 25-22, 25-16).
What wasn’t a continuing theme was the uneven play of the Wildcats’ pin hitters. For the first time in conference play, head coach Dave Rubio was pleased with the play of all three pins.
“It was the best match we’ve played all season,” Rubio said.
While Jaelyn Hodge has been strong all season, the play of Sofia Maldonado Diaz and Puk Stubbe have concerned Rubio.
