PULLMAN, Wash. -- The 25th-ranked Washington State volleyball team (18-8, 10-5 Pac-12) hopes to grab its first 2-0 Pac-12 road trip of the season on Sunday in Tucson, Ariz., as it takes on Arizona (14-12, 4-11 Pac-12) at the McKale Center where it has won four of the last five matchups.  Sunday's match will be streamed live on the Arizona Live Stream.

Washington State tallied seven service aces as a team in a Friday night sweep at Arizona State (11-16, 5-10 Pac-12) and Pia Timmer finished with a match-high 13 kills.  Timmer started slow but had nine kills in the third set with zero errors to lead a Cougars offense that hit .282 in the final set to close out their 12th sweep of the season.  The Wildcats came from behind twice on Friday, dropping the first and third sets to 20th-ranked Washington before prevailing, 15-10, in a fifth set to begin their weekend with a home upset win over the Huskies.

Cougar Quick Notes:
>> If the season ended today, the Cougars' .273 hitting percentage would rank as the third-highest in WSU volleyball history and their 1.70 aces/set would rank as the fifth-most.
>> Pia Timmer averaged 4.29 kills/set last week in Oregon while hitting .226 (30-11-84) for the weekend.  She also picked up her second double-double of the season (19 kills, 12 digs) Sunday at Oregon and had a match-high 13 kills in Friday's win at ASU.
>> Magda Jehlarova began the weekend first in the Pac-12 and 12th in the nation at 1.40 blocks/set for the season.  Jehlarova's 126 total blocks are the most in the Pac-12 and 17th-most in the NCAA.

>> WSU cracked the AVCA Top-25 for the first time in 2022 on Monday, reaching the No. 25 spot after last week's 25th-ranked team, Iowa State, dropped out of this week's coaches' poll.
>> The Cougars finished the 2021 season at No. 23 in the AVCA Top-25 and were receiving votes in eight of the first 11 top-25 polls of the season before finally reach their first national ranking of the season in the Week 11 poll on Monday.
>> Washington State has split each of the last two weekends with its two losses both coming in top-25 matchups (vs. No. 9 Stanford, at No. 12 Oregon).  Washington State is 17-1 this season against teams outside the top-25 and has won 23 of 24 against unranked teams dating back to last season.
>> Five of the Cougars' six road wins have been sweeps after Friday's three-set win at Arizona State.

Up Next:
The Cougars will then return home after the weekend to prepare for a stretch of four home matches in seven days as it closes out the regular season from Bohler Gym starting with Utah and Colorado on Friday Nov. 18 and Sunday Nov. 20, respectively.  Washington State will then turn around to host a Tuesday matchup with UCLA on Nov. 22 before its season finale on Friday, Nov. 25, against 20th-ranked Washington.
