No. 14 Aggies Sweep Southeastern Louisiana
Sep 18, 2025 | Volleyball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The No. 14 Aggie volleyball team swept Southeastern Louisiana on the opening day of the Texas A&M Invitational Thursday evening at Reed Arena, 3-0 (25-16, 25-15, 25-18).
The Maroon & White (6-2) got back to winning ways, as they dominated the Lions (5-4) in the opening match of the invitational. The Aggies stood out both offensively and defensively, with the team hitting .315 and blocking 12.5 swings as a unit.
The Aggies came out firing in the opening frame, leading by six behind five kills, two blocks and two Southeastern Louisiana errors (9-3). Texas A&M kept its foot on the gas, forcing a pair of timeouts from the visitors as it extended its advantage to eight (18-10). The Maroon & White didn't let the Lions get close, finishing out the first set, 25-16.
Holding their momentum into the second, the Aggies once again led by nine at the midway point (14-5). Texas A&M's offense became the star of the show in the latter half of the frame, logging its next seven points through kills from five different individuals (21-10). Leaving nothing to chance, the Maroon & White tacked on the remaining four points they needed to seal the frame (25-15) and doubled their lead in the match, 2-0.
The visitors came out punching in the beginning of the third (3-3), however it quickly turned into more of the same from the Aggies as they pushed on with a 5-0 streak prompting a timeout from the Lions. Not giving up without a fight, Southeastern Louisiana rallied to within two late (20-18), but once again Texas A&M answered to take the set (25-18) and match, 3-0.

COACH'S QUOTES
Head coach Jamie Morrison on how the first home game felt…
"I forgot what it feels like to play here, but overall, I'm really happy with the way we played. The score was the score, but I thought the first two sets we played clean volleyball throughout."
Coach Morrison on responding from recent losses…
"Win or no win, it was the way we played. It was a response to the TCU match, I thought we played well for stretches of it, we made some changes that morning and leading to the game. We talked over it this week, it needed to be a continuation of that. The dominating win wasn't necessarily it, it was how we did it that I'm proud of."
PLAYER'S QUOTES
Senior libero Ava Underwood on how it feels to be back playing at Reed Arena…
"So good, we have been waiting to get back in front of the 12th man. It's been great, we love playing at home, it's a feeling like no other and the 12thMan really showed out today."
Freshman defensive specialist Addi Applegate on learning from Ava Underwood…
"It's great, she is amazing and like an older sister to me. I am grateful I got here when she's here, teaching me about the libero position."
UP NEXT
The Maroon & White return to Reed Arena tomorrow for the second day of the Texas A&M Invitational where they face New Hampshire with first serve set for 6 p.m.
