Defensively, sophomore libero Okiana Valle had a team-high 12 digs and senior Ana Sofia Jusino tied for the match lead with four total blocks. Jusino now has seven matches this season with at least four blocks and moves within six of moving in to the program’s top-15 career blocks leaders.
In the opening set, Arkansas (3-13, 1-3 SEC) and Texas A&M (9-6, 3-1 SEC) traded points to begin the match with neither team leading by more than two until the Razorbacks used a five-point run to take an 18-15 lead on a tandem block by Harbin and Jusino. Arkansas led 21-20 after a kill from Harbin but the visitors won five of the last six points in the set to take a 1-0 match lead.
Texas A&M used a pair of mid-set runs—10-1 in the second and 9-1 in the third—to create space on the scoreboard and secure the victory. In the setback, Barbara Dapic was next on the team with six kills and Jusino and Breana Jones combined for 10 kills in the middle. Each finished the match with five kills.
