Tech was set to close their non-conference schedule before heading into conference play. They began the season in incredible fashion with a 7-1 record behind their veteran leadership. The impressive start led to them entering the week sitting at number 18 in the national rankings. The first of their two games of the week was a neutral site match against a one-loss Arkansas team. Tech’s schedule thus far has been filled with challenging opponents, but repeatedly they have shown the elite caliber of their team.
This past week was nothing different. They found themselves in a close first set with Arkansas as they traded points and each team had a chance to take a win in a close set.
