The break came at a pretty opportune time for the Sun Devils, as they have been struggling mightily as of late, losing eight straight matches, including a winless start in Pac-12 play.
After giving a ranked Oregon school a tough match that went five sets, the Sun Devils have won only one set in their next three match-ups leading up to the Bay Area road trip.
California has faced its share of struggles this season as well. The team enters the match with a 7-9 overall record, and a 1-5 conference record. Their lone Pac-12 win came in their last match with Colorado.
