Around Aggieland (11/8)
Despite a football bye week, there is no shortage of Aggie events to keep up with. Here's a brief preview of this weekend's events.
Men’s Tennis
Three Aggies continue competition at the Oracle ITA National Fall Championships in Newport Beach, California. A&M is one of five teams competing on the west coast this week, and the only team to qualify three athletes: No. 13 Carlos Aguilar, No. 16 Hady Habib, and No. 45 Valentin Vacherot. An update thus far, Habib and Vacherot, have advanced to the third round. You can keep up with them at @AggieMTen on twitter.
Volleyball
Looking to improve their five straight conference win streak, Aggie Volleyball will take on Arkansas at 6:30 p.m. in College Station at Reed Arena, and you can stream it on SEC+. With a record of 16-5, 8-3 in SEC play, the Aggies sit at #4 in the SEC and is ranked #25 in the AVCA Coaches Poll. After their match against the Razorbacks, they will head to Baton Rouge on Sunday for a battle against the LSU Tigers, they’ll begin at 3 p.m., and you can watch the action on SEC Network.
Men’s Swimming and Diving
Following yesterday’s successful dual meet against Boston University, Men’s Swimming and Diving travels to Cambridge Massachusetts tomorrow to compete in a double dual against Duke and Harvard. In their showing against Boston University, the No.7 Aggie Men placed first in 9 of 11 events, and surely hope to channel that momentum as they continue their tour of the northeast.
