Arizona volleyball’s youth facing huge test as senior leader Paige Whipple battles injury

The Arizona Wildcats volleyball team entered the season with two seniors. One was a grad transfer brought in to back up the freshman setter. The other was outside hitter Paige Whipple. For at least the next week, that number has been reduced to just one.

After playing in last Friday’s match against the Oregon Ducks, Whipple sustained a back injury that kept her out of Sunday’s match. It was tough for the Oregon native to sit out what could be her last chance to play in her home state. It was doubly as tough for her team.
