Arizona (17-9, 7-7 Pac-12) fell to No. 3 Washington (21-1, 13-1 Pac-12) in three sets to record its first Pac-12 loss at home Sunday inside McKale Center.

Head coach Dave Rubio said he was disappointed with the way the match went and that there was nothing positive about it.

“I think our execution was horrible and we weren’t sharp … We weren’t connecting at all,” Rubio said. “In general I think it was a pretty poor performance in our part. I don’t remember playing this poor other than in Colorado.”
