Arizona has won five consecutive matches heading into Wednesday's Pac-12 Conference opener at Arizona State at McKale Center.
Devin Homer For the Arizona Daily Star Jaelyn Hodge put up nine kills and had five digs on Saturday afternoon as Arizona beat Cal State Northridge 23-25, 25-16, 25-10, 25-21 to sweep through the Wildcat Classic in McKale Center.
Hodge, the Wildcats' junior outside hitter, says her team is"improving every single week" with a goal of proving the doubters wrong. The UA was picked to finish 10th in the league in the preseason coaches' poll. During the offseason, Hodge — a Queen Creek native who attended Chandler's Basha High School — worked out with a couple of her teammates out of town. When she arrived back in Tucson, Wildcats players took part in open gyms after camps. Hodge says she's more confident and knows what to do on the court as an upperclassman.
“It’s a big jump with maturity and knowing what to do and such a confidence-booster in that aspect," she said."I think all the way around, everything has improved since.”
