No. 13 Volleyball Sweeps Vanderbilt for Second Conference Win
Sep 26, 2025 | Volleyball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The No. 13 Texas A&M volleyball team swept Vanderbilt for its fifth-straight win Friday evening at Reed Arena, 3-0 (25-19, 25-20, 25-15).
The Aggies (10-2, 2-0 SEC) put on a show for the 12thMan, as they helped deliver the third-largest attendance in program history standing 4,666 strong at Reed Arena. All-American, Logan Lednicky, led the charge for the Aggies with a match-high 15 kills with an impressive .480 hitting percentage in the three-set win over the Commodores (4-7, 0-2 SEC).
Vanderbilt came out as the aggressor, building an early lead (4-1). The teams kept it close, however the Aggies captured control through three-straight points to lead at the media timeout, 15-13. Riding their momentum, the Maroon & White ripped off a dominant 6-2 stretch which forced a pair of Commodore timeouts (21-15). Texas A&M didn't let the visitors get close, as it secured the opening frame, 25-19.
The Maroon & White carried the rhythm into the second, racing out to a five-point advantage as Vanderbilt huddled up, 10-5. The onslaught continued, as the Aggies extended their lead to eight forcing another timeout from the Commodores (18-10). Vanderbilt battled back to within four 23-19), but a pair of kills from Morgan Perkins and Kyndal Stowers sealed the set (25-20) and doubled the lead, 2-0.
It was more of the same in the third thanks to Stowers at the service line, as the redshirt-sophomore logged three-straight aces prompting a Commodore break (6-2). The rhythm held through the midway point behind eight kills, a block and a visitor error to extend the advantage to six (15-9). Nothing stopped the train from rolling, as Texas A&M closed the set on a 10-6 run (25-15) to secure the match, 3-0.

COACH'S QUOTES
Head coach Jamie Morrison on today's win…
"I told the girls from the beginning, I know they're [Vanderbilt] going to be hungry, searching for their first SEC win. They came out playing strong and I thought we answered every single time that they pushed. I think it was probably one of the cleanest all-around volleyball matches we've played all year. I'm proud of our girls."
Coach Morrison on the 12thMan…
"I don't think I could be any more grateful for anything than people spending their time coming to cheer us on. I had a moment in the middle of our match where I just looked at the student section behind us and there was a monster block, everyone was doing the same thing, and I just had the thought of 'it's happening' in my head. That the vision that I had for that this program could be, not just the stuff the happens in the 30 by 30 on our side of the court, but that could happen in this community with the 12thMan."
PLAYER'S QUOTES
Senior opposite hitter Logan Lednicky on playing in the SEC…
"This is a testament to all of the work that we put in in the off season, in the spring, and then in the non-conference too. Starting off 2-0 in SEC play, that is not easy, especially with how tough the SEC is. This was a really big start for us."
Freshman outside hitter Megan Fitch on looking up to the seniors…
"Learning under these nine seniors is such a blessing. You learn so much from them. I'm just so grateful for it."
UP NEXT
The Maroon & White head on the road, as they face South Carolina Wednesday, Oct. 1, with first serve set for 6 p.m.
