Tempe just witnessed something special. Arizona State Sun Devils are back-to-back Big 12 Champions, and they did it with flair.
Glover: A Force
Noemie Glover. Remember the name. The junior opposite hitter wasn't just good—she was a problem for opponents. Named Big 12 Player of the Year, she also snagged an AVCA First Team All-American spot. The first in Sun Devil history to earn such a title. And from there, it was over for the rest of the Big 12.
Dominance at Home
The Sun Devils owned their court with an undefeated home season, extending their regular-season home win streak to 28 matches. Under Coach JJ Van Niel, ASU has a 36-1 home record. Yeah, that's no joke.
Record-Breaking Season
A 28-4 overall record. Tied for second-most wins in the program's history this century. 548 block assists—a new team record. Bailey Miller and Colby Neal played pivotal roles, both grabbing All-America honors and keeping opponents guessing.
Awards and Honors
Glover wasn't alone in the spotlight. Faith Frame earned All-Big 12 Second Team honors, while Kiylah Presley made the All-Big 12 Rookie Team. Coach Van Niel? He bagged the Big 12 Coach of the Year for the second time in three seasons.
Looking Ahead
With their third-straight top 20 finish, the Sun Devils have set the stage. This team is not just a powerhouse in the Big 12—they're making noise nationally. You could feel it coming. Expect more records to fall.
And just like that, ASU Volleyball isn't just a contender—they're a force. Watch out, NCAA. They're just getting started.
