Arizona volleyball out to disprove ‘slap in the face’ of being picked 10th in Pac-12 preseason poll

The Arizona Wildcats have at least one very displeased senior on their roster. Libero Kamaile Hiapo was waiting for a question that would allow her to discuss the Pac-12 preseason poll. She launched into her displeasure with the rankings as soon as she got that opportunity.

“I’ve been planning it ever since those polls came out,” she said.

It’s not just about being picked to finish 10th by the Pac-12 volleyball coaches despite returning almost everyone from last year’s team. Hiapo is especially displeased about being placed behind certain teams.

“Especially under some teams that we usually beat, and considering that we have all of our returners,” she said.
