TEXAS A&M-FLORIDA ALL-TIME SERIES

Florida is 13-1 against the Aggies since the all-time series began in 1988, including 5-1 in matches played in College Station.
Florida is 7-1 against A&M in SEC matches only.
A&M's only win in the series was a thrilling come-from-behind 20-25, 19-25, 25-22, 25-22, 15-11 upset over the then-14th-ranked Gators at Reed Arena on Nov. 22, 2015. It was part of a historic 14-match SEC win streak the Aggies rode to close out the SEC season and capture their first conference volleyball title in program history.
Since A&M joined the SEC, three of the four meetings in College Station have been decided in five sets.
The teams last met Oct. 4 in Gainesville, where the top-ranked Gators held off the Aggies, 3-1 (26-24, 25-23, 25-27, 25-10). It marked the first time the Aggies won a set in Gainesville since 1988, when A&M suffered a 3-1 loss in the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
In the most recent meeting, the first three sets were decided by the minimum two points before the Gators ran away with the fourth set to improve to 12-0 and remain the only undefeated team in the nation. Florida, which outhit A&M .295 to .170 for the match and led in blocks, 12-3, had three players post double-digit kills, including Carli Snyder who led all players with 16 kills. Hollann Hans led A&M with 12 kills and Kiara McGee added 10. Senior libero Amy Nettles finished with a team-high 14 digs, and defensive specialist Amy Houser tied her career-high with three aces.

TEXAS A&M PLAYER NOTES

Senior libero Amy Nettles had 17 digs at Ole Miss to give her 1,411 for her career and move her into fifth place in the A&M records. She needs 60 digs to move into a tie for third place with Stacy Sykora, who had 1,471 career digs from 1995-98.
Nettles has appeared in a school-record 355 consecutive sets. The streak began when the then-freshman came off the bench for the final three sets against Arkansas on Oct. 15, 2014. The now-senior co-captain has obliterated the previous record of 284 consecutive sets played, held by fellow San Antonian Suzy Wente since 1994.
Nettles holds the A&M record for career digs in SEC matches only with 938.
Nettles is eighth in the league with 4.24 digs per set in conference matches only. The A&M record for digs per set in an SEC season is 4.10, set by Megan Pendergast in 2012, the Aggies' first year in the league.
Nettles, who has posted double-figure digs in 18 of 20 matches, leads the Aggies and is eighth in the SEC with 3.97 digs per set for the full season.
Nettles had a career-high 34 digs in the win against Tennessee on Oct. 27. It ties for sixth in the A&M all-time single-match records and is one shy of the school record for most digs in an SEC match held by Heather Reynolds, who had 35 digs in a 3-2 win at Georgia on Nov. 24, 2013.
Sophomore outside hitter Hollann Hans is third in the SEC with 0.37 aces per set in conference matches only. She ranks fifth in the SEC with 0.41 aces per set for the full season.
Hans has served at least one ace in 15 of 21 matches and has posted two or more aces nine times, including two four-ace performances. Most recently, she had three aces in the four-set loss at Ole Miss.
Hans, who was named SEC Player of the Week for the first time in her career on Oct. 2, leads the Aggies and is seventh in the SEC with 3.43 kills per set for the full season. She also leads the team and ranks seventh in the league with 4.09 points per set in all matches.
Hans, who has led or tied for the team lead in points in a team-high 13 matches and in kills in 10 matches, had career highs of 32.5 points and 28 kills while hitting .328 against No. 5 Penn State. Her 32.5 points against Penn State ties for fourth in A&M single match records, and her 28 kills against the Nittany Lions are the most by an A&M player since Kelsey Black had 28 against Oklahoma on Oct. 6, 2010.
Senior outside hitter Kiara McGee has recorded double-figure kills in each of the last five matches, including a personal season-high 20 kills—one shy of her career high—at Arkansas on Nov. 5. She has taken team-high honors in both kills and points in each of the last four matches.
McGee leads A&M and ranks eighth in the SEC with 3.33 kills per set in conference matches only.
Freshman lefty Camille Conner, one of the top 14 setters in the nation according to FloVolleyball, was named the SEC Co-Setter of Week for the first time in her career on Oct. 2 after directing the Aggie offense to a season-high .379 hitting percentage at Georgia.
Conner, the MVP of the season-opening Texas A&M Invitational, is one of only two players in the SEC that has recorded a triple-double this season, having tallied 43 assists, 12 digs and 12 kills while hitting .321 in the five-set loss to No. 5 Penn State. She is the first A&M player to record a triple-double since former lefty setter Allie Sawatzky achieved the feat with 31 assists, 10 kills and 11 digs at Ole Miss on Nov. 10, 2013.
Conner tied her career high with 46 assists at Arkansas and also pitched in 13 digs to record her team-leading fifth double-double of the season.
Conner, Nettles and Hans and are the only three players who have appeared in all 75 sets this season. They also are the only three who have been in the starting lineup, including the libero, in every match.
Senior Gabby Litwin posted two aces in each of the first two sets at Arkansas on Nov. 5 and finished with a career-high four aces. It remains the most aces by an SEC player in a five-set conference match this season.
Conner and at least one other freshman have been in the starting lineup in 18 of 21 matches, including eight matches in which three freshmen were in the starting lineup. In the most recent match, freshman Morgan Davis, typically a middle blocker, made the fifth start of her career but her first start on the right side.
Nettles, McGee, Ashlie Reasor and Amy Houser will be receiving their Aggie Rings on Friday, Nov. 17. The Aggie Ring is the most visible symbol of the Aggie Network that connects Aggies around the world. Dating back over a hundred years, it is a tradition that is deep in symbolism. Every symbol represents values every Aggie should hold: Excellence, Integrity, Leadership, Loyalty, Respect and Selfless Service.
