FIRST SERVE
No. 20 Utah will stay on the road heading to Arizona and Arizona State for the weekend looking to get back on track after dropping its last match to No. 25 Oregon.
Â
The Utes hold a 9-4 record and are 1-1 in Pac-12 play so far.
Â
Arizona is 10-4 on the season, but has started Pac-12 play at 0-2 dropping its matches to Arizona State and USC.
Â
The Sun Devils opened Pac-12 play with a big win over cross-state rival Arizona before falling to UCLA. They are 9-4 overall on the season.
Â
Utah swept Arizona State last season and split the series with Arizona with each team winning on their home floor.
Â
CLEAN SWEEP
Out of Utah's nine wins this season, seven of them have been clean sweeps over its opponents with the latest coming in the Pac-12 opener against Colorado.
Â
It's only the second time that the Utes have swept their Pac-12 opener with the first time happening in their first ever match in the Pac-12 back in 2011.
Â
UTES PLAYING PHYSICAL
Utah has played extremely physical so far this season and are third in the nation in blocks averaging 3.09 blocks per set. They have totaled 141 through the 13 matches this season.
Â
The Utes have held nine of the 13 opponents they've played under a .200 hitting percentage.
Â
Along with Berkeley Oblad, Phoebe Grace has been a big part of that. Both middle blockers have over 59.0 blocks this season.
Â
KA'AHA'AINA-TORRES CONTROLS THE OFFENSE
Saige Ka'aha'aina-Torres is averaging 10.90 assists per set after having 47 against Oregon.
Â
Through 13 matches, she has had seven 40-assist matches with two of those coming in three-set matches. Her career high came against BYU with 49 assists in four sets.
Â
Her 10.90 assists per set is 23rd in the country and third in the Pac-12.
Â
UP NEXT
The Utes will be back at home for a big weekend against UCLA and USC starting on Friday, October 11.
Â
Utah will be celebrating head coach Beth Launiere being in her 30th season as well as retiring Kim Turner's jersey.
