TEMPE, Ariz. – Wrapping up the regular season, Arizona State volleyball will host USC on Wednesday in the home finale and will then travel down to Tucson to take on in-state rival Arizona on Saturday.
The Sun Devils (16-13, 8-10 Pac-12) split their matches over the weekend, taking down Washington State before falling in a close match to Washington. With the win over WSU, Arizona State guaranteed a winning record for the first time since 2015. This qualifies the Sun Devils for a chance to get an NCAA tournament at-large bid, but they hope to strengthen the resume with the two matches this week.
Wednesday's match against USC will be the final home match of the season. A win would give ASU its first winning record at home since 2015.
The second match of the Territorial Cup series will be on Saturday in Tucson. Arizona State won the first matchup against Arizona back in September in Tempe, sweeping the Wildcats for a half point in the Territorial Cup series.
Senior libero Courtney Leffel is in sixth place on the all-time digs list, her career total at 1,485. She needs 43 more digs to catch Jami Coughlin at 1,528 and move into the top five. She has 524 digs this season, closing in on the top-10 digs in a single season at ASU. She needs 14 more to break into the top 10.

- The Trojans have won two of their last three, dropping their last match to the Ducks on Sunday. They have been in and out of the rankings all season and are five out of the top 25 this week.
- This is the lone matchup between ASU and USC this season. The Sun Devils are looking for their second win in a row over the Trojans after beating them in Tempe last season.
- The Wildcats have won three of their last four, similar to the Sun Devils. Both Arizona schools beat the Oregon schools on the road and then beat Washington State at their home arenas.
- The Sun Devils have not won in Tucson since 2007. That season was also the last time ASU had a season sweep over Arizona.
