COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas A&M volleyball returns to action Friday night at Reed Arena, as the Aggies (10-4, 2-2) get set to host the South Carolina Gamecocks (10-6, 2-2). In addition to the match, Texas A&M will celebrate its annual "Dig Pink" night in support of breast cancer awareness and research. The match is broadcast live on the SEC Network, with first serve set for 8 p.m. Olympic Gold medalist Paul Sunderland and three-time volleyball All-American Missy Whittemore are on the call.
The Aggies' completed their three-game road trip last Sunday, as the team fell to the Missouri Tigers in Columbia. Texas A&M returns to Reed Arena Friday night to defend their undefeated (5-0) home record.
