Arizona Christian
Heading into the final weekend, Arizona Christian (17-6 overall) is in a three way tie at the top with The Master's and OUAZ at 12-2 in GSAC action.  A win against OUAZ on Friday would lock in at least the second seed and at least one home match in the upcoming GSAC championship tournament as the Firestorm would own any tie break over OUAZ thanks to a season sweep.  A win on Saturday against Ben Mesa and the top seed and regular season championship is still in play for ACU.  The Firestorm have won five straight and 13 of their last 14 matches.

Zuri Reeser- 254 kills, 32 aces, 242 digs

Versus OUAZ, the Spirit own a 13-6 record all-time against the Firestorm.  But ACU swept their match earlier this season in Glendale.

Against the Redhawks, BENU owns a slight 8-6 edge.  However, the Firestorm won 3-1 earlier this season and the teams have split the last four meetings.
