Oct 31, 2024 | Volleyball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The Texas A&M volleyball team returns to Reed Arena Friday evening to host Alabama with first serve set for 6:30 p.m.
The Aggies claimed their second ranked win of the season last time out, as they downed then-No. 7 Texas at Gregory Gym. A&M outlasted the Longhorns in a five-set thriller, winning the match in extras after defending three match points (18-16). The victory marked the Maroon & White's first versus Texas since 2010 and first in Austin since 2001.
Alabama enters the match following a two-match slide and currently sits 15th in the league. Since the start of conference play, the Crimson Tide hangs their hat on defense as they sit seventh in the league in digs per set (13.16). Friday's match will be the 21st meeting between the programs and 12th in Reed Arena.
Last season the team's split a pair of matches, as A&M claimed a sweep at home, while Alabama also won on home soil, 3-1, to close the 2023 regular season. The Maroon & White hold a strong lead in the all-time series, 14-6, and excel at home with a 9-2 record.
A&M is tied for fifth in the conference through the opening eight matches with a 5-3 record. As a group the team ranks second opponent hitting percentage (.187), seventh in blocks per set (2.35) and eighth in digs per set averaging 13.12 a frame.
