Match Preview
Reaching the halfway point of conference play the Aggies head out east to take on two teams atop the sec standings. Both with one loss, the Aggies will first take on the rising Georgia Bulldogs Friday evening in Athens.

The Aggies found the win column against Auburn after some struggles amidst SEC play. The Aggies saw a much better performance with balanced play that saw 4 Ags in double digit kills and Musgrove with 41 assists. Gabi Rodriguez had her first double double with 16 digs and 10 assists as well. We saw Natalie Ring with a season high 17 kills. With Ring playing at her all American level along with Kyndal Stowers, the Aggies will be hard to stop.

Playing Georgia we'll need to be out our best in all facets. They serve really well and have a great block. Offensively they rely heavily, and I can't overstate the word heavily, on outside hitter Bianna Muoneke. She spent her freshman season as an Aggie in year 1 under Morrison before transferring out. She's now an all American type player who takes a large number of swings each game. She is averaging 5 kills a set, one of the best in the country. We need to have a strong block on her and we will need to serve a lot more aggressively to keep her and Georgia out of system.

Georgia has yet to play a conference game against a 2025 tourney team and they haven't won in a sweep. Their lone loss was in a sweep to Miss State. In that loss only one other player aside from Muoneke had over 5 kills. We know Miss State serves tough and we must do the same. I want to see someone other than Stowers with multiple aces. We seem to be finding some continuity in our rotations and lineups, it's time to keep coming together and keep improving.

We've endured our slumps, we've gone through much adversity, we're standing way outside where we should be. Now's the time to fight back, respond, and show everyone who and what Texas A&M Volleyball is all about. We're turning this thing around and it's time to build momentum heading toward the end of the regular season. Let's BTHO georgia…

It's been three years, but what's the over/under on the announcers mentioning Muoneke played for A&M?

This one is huge for us. We match up well and SHOULD take care of business if our defense plays well but have only won one road match (Creighton), and still have a really tough road schedule ahead. Did you know we are best (lowest) in SEC in opponent hitting % in conference matches, and second when including non-conference?

It's also hard to gauge Georgia - they have 9 RPI 100+ wins, lost the same two Big10/Sec challenges we did (Indiana/Purdue). Their toughest matches are still ahead of them, starting tonight. Last year we ended regular season with them at Reed and absolutely dismantled them in three sets, hitting over .500.

o/u set at 2.5 because this should only take three sets

I would like to see the Aggies have solid defense and serve pressure along with a balanced attack. Definitely need the blocking to be on as well.



Gig'em Aggies, BTHO Georgia!

Two big questions:
(1) which team can stop Muoneke/Stowers? Both teams will serve the star hitter and try to throw them off their game
(2) can either team get another hitter to step up and take some of the pressure off?

The block of our middles is key. If we can control Muoneke, we should pull away.

Come on Ring…step up

We have a more balanced attack. I'm also think KS might go off tonight anyways. Looking forward to it.

Other than a win, I want to see improvement in blocking and serve receive.

My player to watch down the stretch for us is Taryn Morris. She has had a solid year, but I think she has even more to give the team if we ask for it.

She is nearly unblockable when our serve receive sets us up right. Once out of system we are having trouble giving her good looks.

I'm with you, our middles need to have a big game. I want to see more Sharp on the slide and less serving errors.

Ring currently leads us with 2 kills. No one else with more than 1 per the live stats . Is that accurate?

Per the announcer Georgia is hoping for 5 sets because they are undefeated in 5th set this year…
