The story of Arizona volleyball this season has been one of trying to get its young players all playing at their best at the same time. That’s especially true of sophomores Sofia Maldonado Diaz and Jaelyn Hodge. On Friday, the Wildcat left side hitters finally put it all together in a 3-0 (25-19, 25-14, 25-23) victory over No. 15 Stanford.
“Our outside hitting, both Jaeyln (Hodge) and Sofia (Maldonado Diaz) both had good nights,” Arizona head coach Dave Rubio said.
Maldonado Diaz led the team with 15 kills on .281 hitting. She also had an assist and five digs.
