Jill Talbot led Arizona with 10 digs and Dana Burkholder added 45 assists in the match. Arizona hit for .365 and added 11 total team blocks.

"First off I just want to say that they are a very, very good team," said Head Coach Beth Launiere. "They are by far the best team we've faced this year. They are big, they've got an experienced setter, they execute, and they were just better than us. We needed to execute better than they did in order to win this match and we didn't do that. Truthfully, I am really glad for this match because it really showed areas that we need to get better at, and areas where we can get better at. We've been getting away with certain things on the court and we needed to see that. We know what we need to get into the gym and work on next week."
