SEC Network Live Stats

The Hogs conclude a five-match home streak with a bang in a nationally-televised match against the Texas A&M Aggies on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

The SEC contest will be broadcast live on SEC Network from Barnhill Arena, Arkansas’ first match on the network this season.

Texas A&M has not been to town since 2020, and Arkansas took the last meeting between the two last November in a 3-0 sweep in College Station. The Aggies are currently 10-8 overall and 2-5 in the SEC, while the Razorbacks are 13-5 and 4-4 in league play.

Tickets are available online or in person through the Razorback Ticket Center. Adult tickets are only $5 and kids 17 and under get in free.

Last Time Out
Arkansas hosted Tennessee last weekend and didn’t drop a set against the Vols for the first time since 2017. The Hogs hadn’t earned back-to-back sweeps against Tennessee since the 2016-2017 seasons and hadn’t defeated the Vols twice in the same season since 2014. Arkansas hit over .300 as a team both nights, and its .352 mark in Saturday’s game matches the second highest hitting percentage all season for the Razorbacks. Junior Taylor Head had a great weekend offensively with 19 kills, a .410 hitting percentage and two service aces. She also led Arkansas in digs over the two matches with 17.
