The MS State vs OU match is very tight, OU up 2-1 in sets, MSU leading 21-19 in set 4. The hitting percentages for both teams are phenomenal.

MSU just boat-racing OU in set 5, 15-3. What a collapse by the Sooners in what had been a nip and tuck match. Great job by the Dogs to get the reverse sweep!

Kentucky wins over Creighton in 4, taking the 3rd set by an eye-popping 25-5 score (though the final set was more competitive at 25-21), per RK.

Not a great weekend for the Gamecocks, dropping matches both to UNC (3-0) and Wake Forest (3-1).
Good bounce back from Tenn after the loss to Colgate to sweep NC State on their floor.
LSU plays 3 tough sets vs Penn St, but comes out on the wrong side of each one.
Ole Miss has to be the best 0-4 team around after getting swept by Nebraska. Seems like they played with the line up a bit vs the Huskers.
Bama gets a W over Central Arkansas in 4.
UGA loses a hard fought match at home vs Texas Tech (in 4)
Kentucky clobbers USC in a sweep.
Mizzou has an undefeated weekend against ACU, Mo State, and Northwestern St.
TAMU also sweeps the weekend vs Memphis, Coastal Carolina, and TCU.
Auburn didn't have any weekend matches. They're back in action Tuesday vs Alabama A&M.
Florida travels to Minnesota for a match this afternoon.

Congrats to all these winners - all deserving, imo:
SEC Player of the Week - Reagan Rutherford, Kentucky

SEC Co-Defensive Players of the Week - Kentucky's Eleanor Beavin, a sophomore libero from Louisville, Ky., averaged 4.90 digs per set over three wins at the 2022 Hilton Omaha Bluejay Invitational as UK held its opponents to just .176 hitting for the weekend. Beavin posted a season-high 19 digs against No. 17 Creighton. She had at least three assists in every match, including seven against No. 25 USC.
Mississippi State's Lilly Gunter, a junior defensive specialist from Oviedo, Fla., averaged 5.18 digs per set over three victories for the Bulldogs at the LUV Invitational.

She also tied her career high with three aces vs. Northern Iowa to kick off the tournament Friday night as part of a four-ace weekend.

Just realized Karli Rose of LSU didn’t return this year. Calling it a “medical release”. Apparently, three setters on a team is problematic. Wish they would have given her the opportunity to compete as a healthy Karli Rose but was not given the opportunity. |

dman - any chance that she will transfer to play out her eligibility, or has she hung up her sneakers?

SC's rough start to the year continues, dropping a 5-setter to Clemson (who over the weekend lost to The Citadel in 5).
According to the well-validated transitive property of volleyball results, the 2-4 College of Charleston, who beat The Citadel 3-0 in week 1, is the best team in South Carolina this year.
I have confidence in the Fightin' Mendozas to get better as the year goes on, though.
