Arizona State volleyball season performance

Overview

The Arizona State volleyball team began its season with significant victories. In their season opener at the AVCA First Serve event, the Sun Devils upset No. 2 Texas with a 3-1 victory, driven by a strong defensive performance and a standout collegiate debut from freshman setter Elle Mottola.

Following that win, Arizona State continued their momentum at the Colgate Volleyball Classic, where they swept Colgate in three sets (25-10, 25-12, 26-24). This victory improved the team's record to 3-1. Junior outside hitter Una Vajagić led the sweep with 14 kills, marking her 11th consecutive match with double-digit kills, while Mottola recorded 26 assists and libero Piper Rama set a career high with three aces.

Arizona State later improved their record to 6-2 after defeating No. 24 Oregon in four sets (25-13, 16-25, 25-22, 25-17) during the Snyder-Park Classic at the Desert Financial Arena. This victory marked the team's third top-25 win of the season. Key contributors included freshman Grace Martin with 12 kills, senior Noemie Glover with 13 kills, and middle blocker Antonina Serafinowska, who recorded a career-high eight blocks.
