Arkansas volleyball will be road tested the next two weeks as the Hogs head out for four straight away matches, the first two at Ole Miss and LSU.

This portion of the schedule will be crucial for the Razorbacks as they look to finish the regular season strong. Arkansas is currently 16-7 overall and 6-5 in the SEC, which puts the Hogs in fifth place in the league.

The team’s first opponent of the weekend is Ole Miss, one of just two repeat SEC matches this season. While the Rebs are 4-7 in the conference, they have found a way to play long this season, with eight of 11 SEC matches going at least four sets. Ole Miss ranks in the top five of the conference in opponent hitting percentage (2nd, .191), blocks per set (5th, 2.38), and digs per set (5th, 14.30).

Friday’s match is set for 6:30 p.m. and will be streamed live on SEC Network+.

After the trip to Oxford, the Hogs take Baton Rouge for a Sunday date with the Tigers. Arkansas has faced off against LSU in Baton Rouge in the last two meetings and each have been close, with four of eight sets decided by four or fewer points. LSU’s Jurnee Robinson is one of the best players in the SEC with 4.87 kills/set and 5.48 points/set, both second in the league. The Tigers are coming off a Wednesday loss to South Carolina in five sets.

First serve on Sunday is at 2 p.m., and the match will be broadcast live on SEC Network.
