@SunDevilVB Home For Two Matches This Weekend

TEMPE, Ariz. – With the first week of Pac-12 play in the books, Arizona State volleyball is back at it at home for two matches this weekend in Wells Fargo Arena, first hosting Colorado on Friday and then Utah on Sunday.
 
To kick off conference play, Arizona State (9-4, 1-1 Pac-12) swept in-state rival Arizona in the home opener, hitting a season-high .330 in the first win over the Wildcats since 2016. ASU then went on the road and fell at UCLA in three, the Sun Devils' only time getting swept this season.
 
Friday's match against the Buffaloes will begin at 7 p.m. MST and will be live on the Pac-12 Network. That match is the Green Game this season to promote sustainability and is also Hispanic Heritage Night. On Sunday, ASU will face Utah at noon MST, which is the Pack the House game. Fans can watch the match on the ASU Live Stream.
