Arkansas Hosts No. 14 Texas A&M in Fall Finale

FAYETTEVILLE – The University of Arkansas volleyball team looks to close out its shortened fall season on a high note this weekend as the Hogs are slated to host No. 14 Texas A&M on Friday and Saturday in Barnhill Arena.

Arkansas will look to bounce back after its four-match winning streak came to an end in Columbia, Mo last week as the Hogs dropped back-to-back matches to No.9 Mizzou. Arkansas fought through five sets in game one, but dropped the following meeting in three.

Freshman Taylor Head continues to be a consistent force for Arkansas, recording her fifth-straight double-double at Missouri on Wednesday (Nov. 4) while racking up a season-high 17 kills. Head currently ranks 40th in NCAA for kills per set, is fourth among Division I freshmen and is first among freshmen in the SEC. She is also 78th in NCAA for hitting percentage, ranking ninth among Division I freshmen and third among SEC freshmen.

Team NCAA D1 Rankings (Top 20 Only)

• 7th in aces per set (1.72) SEC Leader
• 20th in assists per set (11.92)
• 18th in digs per set (15.52)
• 14th in hitting percentage (.240)
• 17th in kills per set (13.20)
• 19th in W-L Pct (.667)

Texas A&M was picked to finish fourth in the SEC Preseason Coaches Poll after finishing tied for third in 2019. Arkansas trails the all-time series with Texas A&M (9-4) as the Aggies swept the series in 2019 and have won the last three meetings. A&M is ranked first in the conference in team total blocks, while ranking second in opponent hitting percentage.
