As Arizona volleyball prepared to head to Madison to take on No. 1 Wisconsin earlier this week, head coach Rita Stubbs said that her Wildcats had nothing to lose. The Badgers are a great team with a great fan base. Arizona needed to prove it could compete and prepare for Pac-12 play. The team, led by senior opposite Sofia Maldonado Diaz, accomplished that despite losing 3-0 (25-17, 25-21, 25-20).
“I feel pretty good,” Stubbs said. “I mean, other than our passing breaking down, I thought that we competed. It never felt like we gave up, which is one of our goals that we had was to compete the entire time.
