TEMPE, Ariz. – Fresh off of two Pac-12 road sweeps, Arizona State women's volleyball is back at home for matches against No. 22 Washington State and No. 15 Washington on Friday and Sunday, respectively.

ASU is tied for second in the Pac-12 following sweeps at Oregon State and then-No. 12 Oregon. In the latest AVCA Coaches Poll, the Sun Devils received 10 votes, four spots out of the top 25.

  • The Cougars have four wins over top-25 teams this season, including wins over No. 25 Utah and No. 23 Colorado this past weekend at home.
  • Two of WSU's three losses have come against top-15 teams, both Pac-12 teams in Washington and Oregon.
  • ASU leads Washington State in the all-time series, 34-29, but the Cougars have won the last three matchups. The Sun Devils' last win came on November 8, 2015, at home.

  • The Huskies have been ranked in the top 20 all season, including a season-high ranking of No. 12 in week two.
  • All three of Washington's losses have come against ranked opponents, including a loss on Sunday to then-No. 25 Utah to snap a seven-game winning streak.
  • Washington leads ASU in the series history, 47-19. The Sun Devils have not beaten the Huskies since November 21, 2012, when ASU earned a road win.
Friday's match will be the Annual GREEN Game, highlighting Arizona State's sustainability and zero-waste practices. It will also be the Hispanic Heritage Game and tacos will be available for purchase.
