Last Friday's victories over UNI and Bakersfield both came in four sets, while the Rockets capped the weekend with a three-set sweep of the Sun Devils on Saturday. Toledo's win over ASU was its first over a Power Five program since 2010 when the team defeated No. 12 Michigan.

Rocket Notes

• Toledo's 3-0 start is its first since 2011 when the team defeated Wright State, Niagara, and Oakland to open the year at the Toledo/Asics Invitational.
• Ryann Jaqua cracked the Top 10 in career digs last weekend and her total now stands at 1,188, 19 away from moving into ninth place all-time.
• Taylor Alt's 25 kills in the win over CSU Bakersfield are the most by a MAC player so far this season and the fourth match of her career with at least 25 kills.
• The Rockets were arguably the best defensive team in the MAC last season and have picked up right where they left off this year. They rank atop the league in blocks/set (2.64) and second in opponent attack percentage (.157).
• Toledo and Ball State are the only two MAC teams to start the year 3-0.
• Payton Morman ranks second in the MAC in assists/set (10.64).
