Jordan Wilson Stands Out Against Alabama
Each game for the Wildcats has had a huge performance. On Saturday, it was Jordan Wilson's turn to show up big. With 16 kills on .256 hitting, Wilson made her presence felt against the Crimson Tide.
Wildcats Starting Lineup Appears All But Set
While there were definite hints on Thursday and Friday, the lineup against Alabama looked nearly identical, except for Alayna Johnson replacing Journey Tucker. This change has likely answered the question about who the go-to starters are likely to be.
With Avery Scoggins and Brenna Ginder continuing to draw the starts at setter and libero respectively, that should allow for Arizona to find stronger footing as they move into the latter stages of non-conference play.
Jaelyn Hodge taking very strongly to the right side or opposite position has provided a very strong attacking presence, as even with some struggles against Alabama, she has taken well to the new role in her 5th season.
