The Sun Devils (10-8, 1-4 Pac-12) are looking to bounce back after a tough ASU Invitational last weekend. ASU played three AVCA top-10 teams in the tournament, taking a total of four dual-match points in the four losses. The Sand Devils have yet to lose a match to an unranked opponent this year. The eight losses this season have all been to teams in the top 20.
Senior Oluoma Okaro will be back with the team this weekend to reunite with Ashley Wenz, the undefeated pair that won the program's first Pac-12 Pair of the Week honor. Okaro missed the last four matches to train with the U.S. Women's National Team. Another strong pair has been Kate Baldwin and Samantha Plaster. They have a 12-5 record this year, the most of any pair.
