Volleyballers travel to Arkansas to continue their 8 game win streak on Sunday!

[StrangeVol]

This is another match that will fool you if you just look at the SEC rankings, Arkansas is lower mid-pack standing at 5 & 10 during SEC play. Don't be fooled, this Arkansas team took us to five sets on our home court back at the end of September, and every set was hotly contested except for the 5th which we won 15 - 7.

Should we get off to a slow start against the Piggies (seems somehow wrong to refer to a female team as Piggies) our eight-game win streak could be snapped. At this point, a lot of teams in the SEC will be gunning for us and our 22nd national rank hoping to spoil our postseason hopes. Arkansas can be a dangerous team.

The good news is we are a much tougher, stronger team than we were back in September. Battle tested and hardened by tough competition against the league's elites, we are a force to be reckoned with. Also, we are healthy and playing really well, so all we have to do is come out focused and take this match away from them.

Game time is Sunday, 11/18, @ 2:00 pm with coverage provided by SECNetwork+.

Much better start this first set. We look to be the better team for sure.

Looks like we're having our bad set 2nd this match. Too many passing errors and not getting blocks up in time. We need to settle down and play as we can!

Maybe this TO will set us right.

 

[StrangeVol]

Well...that was a mess. Arkansas has the wind in their sails right now. We better do something about that ASAP!

All even 1 - 1

 

[StrangeVol]

Are we waking up? I hope so 'cause we really need to or this match will get away from us.

 

[StrangeVol]

Alright! Got the third set and started playing like our old selves.

Vols lead 2 - 1

Side note: The Lady Vols basketballers lead about a million to six.

Boom!!! Lady Vols win!!!

Vols 3 - 1
