TUCSON, Arizona โ Texas Tech (8-8, 0-4) fell to Arizona (6-8, 1-2) in three sets on Sunday afternoon.
Offensively, Tech was led by Elia Dinsmore who finished the match with 11 kills and also added 12 digs for her fourth double-double of the season. Sara Bowcutt and Shelby Ignash combined for 12 kills while Kenna McKenzie and Tatum Johnson each notched three kills to round out the major scorers for Tech.
Katelyn Cochran and Taylor Cook combined for 27 assists and 14 digs and Emily Contreras tied the team high for digs with eight along with Cochran and Bowcutt. Arizona was led Destin Ndam-Simpson and Carlie Cisnero who combined for 24 kills and had just six errors in 54 attempts.
The Red Raiders got off to a slow start in set one going down 15-10 at the media timeout. The Wildcats kept their foot on the gas, going on a 10-4 run to close out the set and take the early lead.
Set two was closer with Tech leading 15-13 at the media break but Arizona came back to take the lead 22-19 to force a Red Raider timeout. The Wildcats did not cool off on the break, however, and closed out the set 25-20 and grabbed firm control of the match.
The Red Raiders fell behind 15-10 at the media break and would cut the Wildcats lead to one but a quick 3-0 run after that forced a timeout from Tech late in the set. Arizona kept playing its game and would complete the sweep to earn its first conference win of the season.
