Arizona State’s women’s volleyball team turned a two-set deficit into a road win Sunday, Oct. 18, beating No. 17 Kansas in five sets at Allen Fieldhouse.

The eighth-ranked Sun Devils lost the opening sets 25–17 and 25–14, then won 25–22, 25–20 and 15–10. The comeback was ASU’s first reverse sweep since 2022, according to the university’s match report.

The decisive set swung on a seven-point ASU run that produced a 7–2 lead. The Sun Devils stretched the advantage to 10–4 and finished the match with a block.

ASU improved to 15–3 overall and 6–1 in Big 12 play. It also moved to 7–1 against ranked opponents this season, adding another top-20 result to its résumé.

The road stretch continues this week: Arizona State visits Utah on Oct. 22 and BYU on Oct. 24.
