The Texas A&M volleyball team remained ranked No. 13 in this week?s USA Today/CSTV Top 25 Coaches Poll, the American Volleyball Coaches Association announced Monday.
The Aggies stayed at No. 13 for the second consecutive week despite falling at No. 9 Texas, 3-2, in their only match last week. The ranking remains A&M?s highest since a No. 11 listing on Sept. 20.
No. 3 Nebraska, which received one first-place vote, leads a group of five teams from the Big 12 listed in the Top 25. Texas dropped two spots to No. 11 after falling at then-unranked Missouri, 3-1, on Sunday. Kansas State remained at No. 20, and Missouri moved in at No. 25.
The top five in the poll remained unchanged with Washington at No. 1, followed by Hawaii, Nebraska, Penn State and Minnesota, respectively.
The Aggies, who are 16-6 overall and tied with Missouri for third place in the Big 12 with a 12-4 mark, play host to Iowa State on Wednesday. First serve is at 7 p.m. at G. Rollie White Coliseum, and all scouts and scout leaders in uniform will be admitted free.
