Sun Devil Outlook

No. 25 Arizona State (14-0, 2-0 Pac-12)

• The Sun Devils are ranked No. 25, their first time being in the AVCA Coaches Poll since October 8, 2018. That next match in 2018 was the last ranked matchup ASU has been in. Additionally, this is the first time a new head coach at ASU has been ranked since 1983 when Debbie Brown’s squad was ranked in her first season.
• Arizona State kept the perfect start to the season alive last weekend, going a perfect 2-0 to improve to 14-0, the third-best start in program history. A win on Friday would tie the best start in the NCAA era of 15-0, which was achieved back in 2015. The best start is 21-0, which was in the inaugural season back in 1973.
• To keep that perfect record, ASU started by sweeping in-state rival Arizona, the first home sweep against them since 2019. Then the Sun Devils beat the Huskies in four sets for their first home win against them since 2018. This is the first 2-0 start to Pac-12 play since 2015.
• No. 3 Stanford is the highest-ranked opponent Arizona State has faced since the Cardinal was ranked No. 2 in 2019. The last time the Sun Devils beat a top-five team was in 2013 when ASU upset No. 2 Texas in straight sets.
• Senior opposite Marta Levinska is the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week for the second week in a row. This is the first time in Arizona State history that the same student-athlete has won weekly awards in consecutive weeks. It’s also the second time ever that ASU has had a weekly award in consecutive weeks (also in 2013). For Levinska, it’s her fourth weekly honor overall in her career, one of three Sun Devils to ever reach that number (also Macey Gardner and Christine Garner).
• The serving game continues to be a strong point for Arizona State. As a team, they…
