The play wasn’t even or consistent, but Arizona volleyball pulled itself to .500 on the season with a five-set (14-25, 25-14, 25-20, 20-25, 15-9) victory over Grand Canyon University on Sunday afternoon. Strong serving by setter Ana Heath and a few tweaks to the lineup helped the Wildcats hang on after a slow start.
Arizona didn’t come out of the gate well at all, but the Wildcats were able to flip the match with a strong second set and overcome a mid-set collapse in the fourth set. Part of the turnaround was getting senior hitter Jaelyn Hodge going.
