Arizona volleyball: Dave Rubio, Kendra Dahlke and Devyn Cross preview Cactus Classic and reflect on Hornet Invitational

The Wildcats are 3-0 heading into the Cactus Classic this weekend

The Arizona volleyball team will play its first matches at home this weekend when it hosts the Cactus Classic.

The Wildcats will face Lipscomb and San Diego State on Friday before closing out the tournament Saturday against Pacific.

Arizona is 3-0 to start the season, beating Cal State Northridge, Utah State and Sacramento State in the Hornet Invitational last weekend in Sacramento.

UA senior outside hitter Kendra Dahlke was the tournament’s MVP, racking up 67 kills in the three matches with a .370 hitting percentage. It was the first time in her career that she had 20 or more kills in consecutive matches.

Setter Julia Patterson and Devyn Cross were also named to the all-tournament team. We caught up with Dahlke, Cross, and head coach Dave Rubio to discuss the Hornet Invitational and what’s ahead this weekend in the Cactus Classic.
