SCOUTING REPORT
Arizona enters Friday's match 6-8 overall and 1-2 in Big 12 play after picking up its first conference win with a sweep of Texas Tech on Sunday. The Wildcats returned eight letterwinners from that squad, highlighted by Preseason All-Big 12 outside hitter Carlie Cisneros, who earned Second Team All-Big 12 honors in 2025. Transfer outside hitter Destiny Ndam-Simpson has emerged as Arizona's leading attacker with 145 kills, while Cisneros follows with 121 and a team-high 19 service aces. The Wildcats have also been particularly effective at the net, averaging 2.31 blocks per set.
Â
No. 11 Arizona State enters the weekend 11-3 overall and 2-1 in Big 12 play after handing Iowa State its first conference loss in four sets on Sunday. The Sun Devils were picked to win the Big 12 after capturing back-to-back conference titles and finishing 28-4 with a trip to the Sweet 16 last season. Reigning Big 12 Player of the Year and First Team All-American Noemie Glover headlines a loaded group of pins alongside Preseason All-Big 12 selections Aniya Clinton and Una Vajagić. Sun Devils are hitting .255 as a team, but their defense has been even more impressive. ASU ranks second in the Big 12 in opponent hitting percentage at .170 and averages 2.48 blocks per set.

ALL EYES ON THE FROGS
 » Back in July, Evan Hendrix was named to the Preseason Watch List of the 2026 Division I Player of the Year Award.
 » This week, her teammate Becca Kelley was added to the watchlist as one of 16 midseason additions by the AVCA.
 » Hendrix and Kelley are among 46 of the top names in the sport represented on the watch list, and TCU is one of 15 programs with multiple student-athletes in contention for the prestigious award.
 » The attacking duo were midseason additions to the watch list last year too.
 » The watch list is set to be trimmed down to a list of semifinalists next month before the finalists are revealed and the Player of the Year is crowned in San Antonio at the AVCA Awards Banquet on Dec. 18.
