Sun Devil Outlook
No. 12 Arizona State (18-12)

• The Sand Devils went 1-3 over the weekend at the Center of Effort Challenge in San Luis Obispo, California, facing off against four teams ranked in the NCAA Top 10. After falling to No. 1 TCU, No. 2 UCLA, and No. 4 LMU, ASU got a final chance to pick up a ranked win against No. 7 Florida State in the last match of the weekend. The Sun Devils took care of business, taking the dual 3-2. 
• The win over No. 7 FSU was the first top-10 win for ASU this season and third under head coach Kristen Glattfelder. With their 1-3 weekend at the COE Challenge, the Sun Devils record this season against ranked opponents is now 7-12. 
• Sophomore Ava Williamson picked up her team-leading 20th win of the season over the weekend. The sophomore is 10th for career individual wins at ASU with a 44-17 record.
• Junior Ava Kirunchyk and sophomore Ava Williamson's winning streak came to an end at 10 over the weekend, which is the second-longest winning streak for a pair in Sun Devil history.
