A little roster shuffling during the week didn't change the result in the No. 17 Arizona women's volleyball team's final Red-Blue scrimmage Saturday in McKale Center.

With sophomore setter Amy Dyck wearing crimson, senior outside hitter Kim Glass again showed good form in the Red Team's four-game victory, 30-27, 30-27, 30-25, 11-15.

Dyck led both teams with 47 assists - a week after notching 32 for the Blue Team in a four-game loss - and Glass finished with her second straight double-double (14 kills, 11 digs).

Former Arizona All-America setter Dana Burkholder ended with 35 assists for the Blue Team, which was made up of a mix of Arizona reserve players and two male players.

Junior setter Stephanie Butkus did not play Saturday, a week after leading the Red Team with 45 assists.

Todd Blankenship ended with two digs in four games.

The Wildcats begin their regular season with the Four Points University Wildcat Classic, a four-day tournament that starts Thursday in McKale.
