COLUMBIA, S.C. – The No. 9 Texas A&M volleyball team hits the road to face the Gamecocks Wednesday evening at the Carolina Volleyball Center with first serve set for 6 p.m.
The Maroon & White improved to 2-0 in SEC play following a dominant sweep over Vanderbilt. The efficiency stood out in the contest for the Aggies, as they hit .374 percent as a unit with 44 kills paced by Logan Lednicky's 15 kills at a staggering .480 clip.
Ifenna Cos-Okpalla continued to impress on the defensive side of the net, blocking five swings which marked her seventh game this season with five or more.
