COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M volleyball prepares for its final road trip of the 2021 regular season this weekend, as the Aggies take on the LSU Tigers on Sunday inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. The match is set for streaming on connected devices via SEC Network+ with first serve slated for 1 p.m.
The Aggies (12-13, 5-10 SEC) are on the road after a straight-set defeat at the hands of the surging Arkansas Razorbacks. Morgan Christon led the way for A&M offensively, totaling 14 kills and adding eight digs as a six-rotation option for the Maroon & White. Ciera Hecht led the defense with 13 digs, while Camille Conner finished with her 45th career double-double, logging 25 assists and 12 digs.

Under the direction of head coach Fran Flory, the Tigers currently stand at 11-13 overall with a 7-8 record against Southeastern Conference opposition. LSU came away victorious in its most recent outing against the Ole Miss Rebels and have a pair of signature nationally-ranked wins over Florida and Tennessee at home.
