No. 21 Volleyball Hosts LSU in Friday Night Showdown

Tickets Game Notes
By Sam Thornton
  • No. 21 Texas A&M hosts LSU Friday night as the second of three events of Operation Blackout Weekend in Aggieland.
  • The Aggies have been strong at home this season, boasting a 10-2 record at Reed Arena.
  • Kyndal Stowers continues to lead the team offensively, as she has recorded 10-or-more kills in 10 of the 13 SEC games this year.

COLLEGE STATION – The No. 21 Texas A&M volleyball team returns to Reed Arena Friday evening where it hosts LSU with first serve set for 6:30 p.m. as part of Operation Blackout Weekend.

The Aggies look to get back in the win column following a trio of losses away from home. A&M has the power of the 12th Man behind them to close out the final weekend of conference play, and that has shown to be crucial. When playing at home, the Maroon & White are 10-2 overall and 5-1 in conference play.

Kyndal Stowers continued to pace A&M’s offense, recording 15 kills against Vanderbilt and 14 against Missouri. The senior has logged double-digit kills in 16 matches this season and 10-of-13 in league play.

Gabi Rodriguez tallied 25 digs over a pair of games this past weekend and now sits at 321 on the year. The freshman’s historic rookie campaign has seen her become the fastest player to 100, 200 and 300 career digs and she now has her sights set on the freshman program record held by Torri Mellinger at 354.

Texas A&M has a long history versus LSU, as it prepares for the 55th meeting with the Tigers. The Aggies hold a 34-20 advantage in the all-time series, including a 12-8 record when playing at Reed Arena. Since the arrival of Coach Morrison, the Aggies have won three of the last four meetings, including a 3-1 victory last season in Baton Rouge.
