Box Score SEATTLE, Wash. -- Arizona was unable to hang on to five-point-plus leads in each of the first two sets as the 11th-ranked Washington Huskies swept the Wildcats in Seattle, 25-23, 25-20, 25-20.
 
"That was a disappointing loss," said head coach Dave Rubio. "I thought Washington served well and we didn't handle it well. We had leads in first and second set but we just got stuck in some rotations. We just couldn't side out when Penina (Snuka) was in the front row. I'm disappointed we didn't fight more in set three."
 
The Cats equaled Washington's 43 kills, but Arizona had more than double the attack errors (23-11). UA hit just .160 in the match while the Huskies hit .286. The Huskies outblocked the Cats 10.0-5.0.
 
Penina Snuka (34 assists and 12 digs) and Kalei Mau (11 kills and 12 digs) both tallied double-doubles in the match. For Snuka, it was her 10th straight match with a double-double, giving her 19 for the year.
 
After leading the conference in double-doubles each of the last three seasons, Snuka has trailed Utah's Adora Anae all of this season. Tonight, Snuka claimed the conference lead in double-doubles for the first time this season as her quest to lead the Pac-12 in double-doubles all four years continues.
 
Once again, Arizona was led by its back-row defense. Arizona outdug Washington 50-47. Three Wildcats, including Laura Larson, who has had double-digit digs in all but one Pac-12 match for Arizona this year.
 
On a night where some of Arizona's offensive weapons struggled to score, Katarina Pilepic picked up the slack, netting 10 kills on just 26 swings. It was Pilepic's ninth double-figure-kill match this season.
 
The Huskies battled back from a six-point deficit to take the first set, using a 9-3 run to tie the match at 20 after Arizona led 17-11. UW scored five of the final six points to win it 25-23. UA hit just .091 in the set. It marked Arizona's seventh straight match in which the first set was decided by two points.
 
Washington erased another big Arizona lead in the second, coming back from a 15-10 deficit on its way to a 25-20 victory.
 
There was no early deficit to come back from in the third as the Huskies cruised to a 25-20 victory to sweep the match.
