Arizona Closes Out Final Home Tournament Making History

TUCSON, Ariz. – The No. 13 Arizona Beach Volleyball team completed its undefeated weekend in the Wildcat Spring Challenge on Saturday, taking down New Mexico 4-1 and Santa Clara 5-0. The Cats have now recorded 21 victories, which makes them the winningest team in Arizona beach volleyball history. This is the second time this month the Wildcats have inked the record book, as their victory over ASU was UA's 100th program win.
 
UA's seniors, Madison Rigdon, Ainise Havili, Jordan Abalos and Mia Mason were honored today at the Senior Day ceremony. Rigdon improved her individual record to 21-4, and extended her winning streak to 17 matches with partner Natalie Anselmo as Arizona's No. 3 pair.
