"We had a really good second set," said interim head coach Carlos Moreno. "In the Pac-12, we need to maintain overtime. We need to stay aggressive. We need to execute our game plan. We all need to do our jobs, every player has a job, I have a job to do too. We have to be great at it in order to win."
Freshman Griere Hughes led the Sun Devils with 11 kills on .360 attacking, her 16th double-digit kills match of the season. Junior Carmen Unzue and freshman Megan Beedie added eight kills each. Sophomore Nicole Peterson recorded 28 assists.
