OXFORD, Miss. – For the first time all season, Little Rock found itself on the short end at the end of a set, dropping its opener to Samford at the Rebel Invitational. But that defeat proved to provide a spark for the Trojans, who rattled off wins in the next three sets to take the 23-25, 25-20, 25-18, 25-9 victory over the Bulldogs.
With the victory, Little Rock improves to 5-0 on the season, tying the program's 5-0 mark in 1998 for the best start in program history. The Trojans have also matched that 1998 team by playing just 16 sets in those five games, registering four sweeps and one 3-1 victory.
