When Arizona volleyball faced Stanford on Oct. 14, Wildcats head coach Dave Rubio made some changes to his lineup and substitution patterns. Those changes are still a work in progress.
Six matches ago, Rubio swapped left-side hitter Sofia Maldonado Diaz and right-side hitter Puk Stubbe. He also quit making substitutions for Maldonado Diaz, Stubbe, and fellow pin Jaelyn Hodge when they rotated to the back row. The changes looked good over the first weekend, but other concerns have emerged since that time.
Rubio has likened the situation to trying to plug leaks in a dam.
