The ARizona Wildcats are off to an undefeated start this season, pushing their record to 6-0 after sweeping their first two tournaments. If they’re able to repeat the feat for the third straight week, head coach Dave Rubio will return to Tucson one win shy of 500 Division I victories in his career. All 500 of those wins will have come at Arizona.
With only one conference coach—UCLA’s Andy Banachowsk—ever reaching that point, it’s an impressive accomplishment for the man who in in his 27th year of leading Arizona volleyball.
More important than the coach’s long-term achievement, the 2018 team has shown that they want to make their own mark by putting together a strong showing in the pre-conference season.
