Arizona volleyball faces challenging road schedule in 2026 season
Summary

Arizona volleyball is set to undertake a demanding schedule for the 2026 season, primarily on the road. After a season-opening home tournament from August 28-30, the Wildcats will not return home for nearly five weeks, heading straight into Big 12 play. Coach Rita Stubbs has opted for a challenging nonconference slate, with all but one opponent having a winning record last season. Arizona has nine newcomers and an unsettled lineup, making this tough road stretch critical for team development as they aim for a strong showing in the upcoming season.
