Back-to-back Big 12 Champion Arizona State is in the NCAA Regional Semifinal for the second time in the last three seasons (fourth overall) after another stellar season atop the conference. ASU has a 28-3 overall record with a 17-1 mark in conference play in 2025. The Sun Devils put together an impressive campaign that saw eight ranked wins, 12 sweeps and win streaks of 12 and 10.
In Glover’s first season in Tempe, she made an immediate and impressive impact, winning Big 12 Player of the Year. The junior opposite hitter out of Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. leads the Sun Devils in kills, and in all but one match she played, she has reached double-digit kills, including four matches with 20 or more. The southpaw was named a semifinalist for the AVCA National Player of the Year award, one of 14 athletes from across the country and the only one from the Big 12. Additionally, Glover was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the week three times, the most weekly awards of any Sun Devil this season.
Miller, in her second year as a Sun Devil, was second on the team in kills and digs this season. With her balanced efforts, the senior outside hitter had 10 double-doubles, the most on the team. She has had double-digit kills in 15 of the last 16 matches. Leading the team in aces with 36, she was top 10 in the conference in that category. Miller also appeared in every set for Arizona State this season.
In the middle, graduate Neal has been dominant on the block and has had the most productive season of her career. She is No. 7 in the nation for blocks per set (1.50) and No. 8 in total blocks (168). Her 142 block assists on the year are the second most in a single season in ASU history. Neal earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors twice. She is also fourth in kills for Arizona State overall.
ASU will face Creighton on Thursday in the Round of 16. The match will begin at 11 a.m. MST/1 p.m. EST on ESPN2.
