DaLee and Talbot lead Arizona to victory

The Arizona volleyball team came one step closer to its dream of winning the school's first NCAA title when they breezed into the "Sweet 16" with a victory against Michigan Friday night at McKale Center.

The No. 5 Wildcats (27-4 overall, 16-2 Pacific 10 Conference) were too much for the Wolverines (19-14, 8-12 Big Ten Conference) to handle en route to a 15-1,15-1, 15-8 UA victory.

"It is wonderful to play that well and - in a result - be able to move on to the next round," Arizona head coach David Rubio said. "Tonight was one of those nights where everything seemed to come together, and it was nice to be on our side of the bench. It was just wonderful to see our players play that well."

Arizona was led by senior middle blocker Marisa DaLee and junior outside hitter Jill Talbot.
