When Arizona volleyball went to Maples Pavilion earlier this month, their outing against Stanford was the worst showing of the season. Weeks later, that still stands. Arizona head coach Dave Rubio believes the time on the clock for his young team will make it a better match this time around.
“Stanford presented some areas and that we hadn’t faced before with their length,” Rubio said. “They’re big and longer than any team that we played, even Texas, and so I think we’ll just mentally, emotionally be better. We’re certainly physically better than we were at that time, and we’re playing at home.
