"We've had great performances from a lot of kids this year," Fuller said. "Everybody's played a fair amount."

Cernianska, an outside hitter, leads the team in kills per game (4.48) and Graybill is second (2.88) and Roth third (2.58). Libero Kelsi Peterson leads the team in digs (3.92) and assists (8.18), while Roth leads in blocks (1.28).

"They're going to look at Zuzana's numbers and put some focus on her," Fuller said. "They're going to look at our middles' numbers and make sure they have blockers in front of our middles. Depending on where they go we'll have to counter and go the other way."

The Wildcats, who finished second in the Pac-10 at 14-4, are led by outside hitter Kim Glass (.263 hitting percentage, 5.34 kills, 3 digs, .79 blocks and .40 service aces), and outside hitter Jennifer Abernathy (.236 HP, 4.05 kills, 3.40 digs and .53 blocks).

"They have very athletic outside hitters that get up high and swing hard. That's going to be difficult to defend. To counter that we have to serve tough and get them out of their offense," Fuller said. "We're not going to stop them. We've got to see if we can slow them down a hair."
