No. 19 Texas A&M volleyball gave its seniors a victory to remember Sunday afternoon, ending its three-match losing streak with a four-set win over Auburn at Reed Arena.
The Aggies won 25-20, 25-20, 27-29 and 25-22 to improve to 11-8 overall and 4-3 in SEC play. Auburn dropped to 11-8 and 1-6. The victory was also A&M’s third straight over the Tigers and moved the Aggies to 9-2 at home this season.
A&M built a lead late in the opening set and carried that momentum into the second. The Aggies recorded 37 kills across the first two frames and entered the break with a 2-0 lead. Natalie Ring helped lead the early offensive success on Senior Day, while Kyndal Stowers continued to provide A&M with a consistent option at the net.
Auburn avoided the sweep by surviving a back-and-forth third set with 13 ties. The Aggies had opportunities to finish the match but committed 10 attacking errors during the frame, allowing the Tigers to extend it.
Texas A&M responded with its most efficient set of the afternoon. The Aggies hit .389 in the fourth, never trailed and closed out the match behind an offense that produced 73 kills overall. A&M also led in digs and total blocks while earning a much-needed conference win.
Key players of the game
- Kyndal Stowers: 21 kills, 10 digs
- Natalie Ring: 17 kills, six digs
- Kaia Castle: 12 kills, six blocks
- Taryn Morris: 11 kills, five blocks
- Kirra Musgrove: 41 assists, 14 digs
- Gabi Rodriguez: 16 digs, 10 assists
Stowers recorded her seventh double-double of the season and produced at least 20 kills for the third time in four matches. Musgrove also finished with a double-double, while Rodriguez helped stabilize the back row. Ring delivered one of A&M’s most important performances on Senior Day. She finished second on the team in kills, with Lily Nicholson and Margot Manning following her.
Texas A&M finished with a 73-51 kill advantage and hit .289 for the match. The Aggies committed 25 attacking errors, but their offense was much more efficient than it was during Friday’s loss to Florida.
A&M will return to the road Friday to face Georgia at 6 p.m. CT.
