TEMPE, Ariz. – Coming off of a third top-15 win, Arizona State volleyball will finish off the regular season by hosting No. 2 Stanford on Wednesday followed by a Territorial Cup match against No. 23 Arizona on Saturday.
 
After dropping the match to then-No. 25 UCLA, Arizona State (14-16, 5-13) snapped an 11-match losing streak by taking down then-No. 14 USC in four sets. Alyse Ford had 20-plus kills in both matches, earning her a Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week nod. It was the first weekly honor for ASU this season and first since early in the 2017 season.
