SEATTLE - As temperatures cool in Seattle, the Huskies escape to the desert this week looking to get hot again after seeing a seven-match win streak snapped in their last match. 15th-ranked Washington will have a big challenge in store in the Arizona schools, both of which served notice last week with road sweeps at the Oregon schools. The Huskies, Wildcats, and Sun Devils all go into this third week of Pac-12 play with 3-1 conference records, looking to keep positioned at the top of the pack.
The Huskies (11-3, 3-1 Pac-12) will visit No. 21 Arizona first on Friday, Oct. 5, for a 6 p.m. match airing on Pac-12 Networks WA/AZ. Then it will be on to Tempe to meet the Sun Devils on Sunday, Oct. 7, for a 12 noon first serve. Sunday's match will be live stream only on Arizona State's website.
The first RPI numbers were crunched by the NCAA this week, with the Huskies coming in at No. 7, second in the Pac-12 behind No. 1 Stanford. Two of UW's three losses were to teams ranked in the top-six: No. 3 Illinois and No. 6 Pitt. Washington's highest wins at the moment based on RPI came over No. 17 Washington State and No. 28 Dayton.
Through the first two weeks of Pac-12 play, only Stanford sits without a loss at 4-0. The Huskies had a chance to join the Cardinal but lost in four sets to Utah at home on Sunday. Arizona's only loss in conference play thus far came to Stanford in four sets in Palo Alto, while ASU lost to Arizona in the conference opener, but has since beaten Cal, Oregon State, and then-No. 12 Oregon. Arizona also upset Oregon last week, in five sets.
The Wildcats are 14-2 overall, their only loss aside from Stanford coming in five sets to New Mexico State. Arizona is hitting .257 on the year and holding opponents to just .171. Arizona's senior outside hitter Kendra Dahlke was named Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week this week after the two wins at Oregon. Dahlke leads the Pac-12 with 5.18 kills per set on the season. Junior setter Julia Patterson is third in the league with 11.45 assists per set while junior middle Devyn Cross is fifth in attack percentage at .359 and eighth in blocks per set at 1.23. Cross has upped that to .397 in Pac-12 matches. The Huskies have won 13 straight in the series but did not visit Tucson last year.
Arizona State is already the surprise of the Pac-12 season, getting three wins in four matches after going winless in conference play last year. Second-year head coach and UW Hall of Famer Sanja Tomasevic has turned ASU around quickly, as they are now receiving votes in the AVCA poll with a 12-4 record overall. In the big upset of Oregon, junior Ivana Jeremic led ASU with 16 kills and the Devils dug 64 balls in just three sets with four players in double figures, to hold Oregon to a .189 attack percentage. For the season, ASU is third in the Pac-12 in opponent attack percentage at .175 and is hitting .215. Jeremic is eighth in the league with 3.76 kills per set. Sophomore Megan Beedie has been very effective in the middle with a .369 attack percentage and libero Courtney Leffel is fifth in digs with 4.40 per set.
