By No. 21 Texas A&M volleyball returns to Reed Arena Friday night, hosting LSU in an important SEC matchup as the Aggies look to snap a three-match losing streak and regain momentum ahead of postseason play.
Texas A&M enters the contest 14-11 overall and 7-6 in SEC play following a difficult road trip that included losses to No. 14 Texas, Vanderbilt and Missouri. The Aggies were swept by Missouri on Sunday after falling to Vanderbilt in four sets Friday.
Despite the recent struggles, Texas A&M has been difficult to beat at home, posting a 10-2 record at Reed Arena, including a 5-1 mark against SEC opponents. The Aggies will look to take advantage of that home-court success as part of the university's Operation Blackout Weekend.
Kyndal Stowers continues to lead Texas A&M offensively, recording 15 kills against Vanderbilt and 14 against Missouri. The senior has reached double-digit kills in 10 of the Aggies' 13 conference matches this season. LSU enters Friday's matchup 11-11 overall and 6-7 in conference play, having won three of its last four matches. The Tigers are led by outside hitter Jurnee Robinson, who leads the nation with 5.21 kills per set.
Texas A&M holds a 34-20 advantage in the all-time series and has won three of the last four meetings under head coach Jamie Morrison, including a four-set victory last season in Baton Rouge.
