Arizona volleyball built NCAA Tournament team the old-fashioned way

Key Highlights

• Only Wilson regularly plays for the Wildcats.
• She has been at Arizona for three of her four years of college after transferring to be closer to her family in the Phoenix area following her freshman season at USC. Wildcat head coach Rita Stubbs has largely built her program the old-fashioned way.
• She’s brought in freshman recruits and developed them.
• Some were highly touted All-Americans, like the sophomore trio of Carlie Cisneros, Avery Scoggins, and Brenna Ginder.
• Others were overlooked or had to sweat out the recruiting process. Junior middle blocker Journey Tucker was waiting for a scholarship offer late into the recruiting cycle after battling a brain tumor while in high school.
