RED RAIDER QUICK HITS
- Head coach Tony Graystone is just two wins away from the 500th victory of his coaching career.
- The Red Raiders made their mark on the Texas Tech record book Wednesday as they swept Kansas State, 3-0, for the first time in program history. It was the second-ever sweep posted against the Wildcats – the first was a 2-0 sweep at a neutral site on Oct. 14, 1983.
- Continuing a strong senior season, Emily Hill ranks second in the Big 12 with 4.75 kills per set, as well as 10th with 2.84 digs per set. Playing in 64 sets this season, she leads the conference with 304 total kills and 836 attempts.
- Entering Sunday's contest, Texas Tech and TCU are tied 10-10. The Red Raiders won the inaugural meeting (3-0) on Oct. 17, 1999, and won the two teams' most recent meeting on Oct. 27, 2018. In its 10-year playing history, Tech has swept the Horned Frogs six times and is 6-4 against TCU at home.
- Coincidentally, every Big 12 contest ended in a sweep on Wednesday, Oct. 2. Tech, along with No. 1 Baylor, No. 6 Texas and Iowa State all ground out sweeps against their Big 12 opponents.
- After taking over as Tech's starting libero last season, junior Emerson Solano continues to impress on the floor. The Amarillo, Texas, native ranks fourth in the league with 3.90 digs per set and her 242-dig mark leads the Big 12 Conference. Â
- Three Red Raiders will celebrate birthdays in the month of October. Sharing the same birthday, junior Emerson Solano and freshman Kylie Trefflich (who will turn 21 and 19, respectively) will celebrate their special days on Friday, Oct. 18, before sophomore Brooke Kanas turns 20 years old on Tuesday, Oct. 29
- Proving to be a strong defensive weapon for the Red Raiders, senior Emily Hill is just 39 digs away from the 1000th dig of her career. She accumulated 184 digs as a freshman at Mississippi State before posting 307 in her first season at Tech in 2017. Hill collected 288 digs as a junior last season and has already racked up 182 digs in her senior season.
- Emily Hill started her senior year with a bang and earned Texas Tech's first Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week award since Sept. 1, 2014. The nod was the first weekly award of her career, as well as the first acknowledgment of the 2019 season.
- You're not just seeing things. Freshmen Lauren Dodson and Lindsey Dodson are one of the few pairs of sisters to grace the Texas Tech volleyball program. The Dodsons are the first set of twins that head coach Tony Graystone has ever coach in his now 21st season of coaching.
- After a stellar outing at the U.S. Women's National Team Open Tryouts, sophomore Brooke Kanas became the fourth Red Raider in program history to earn a spot on the U.S. Women's Collegiate National Team. She spent June 23-29 training with the nation's domestic program in Anaheim, Calif. She is the youngest Red Raider to have spent a summer training with the U.S. Collegiate National Team.
- The Texas Tech volleyball team was honored by the American Volleyball Coaches Association as an Academic Honor Roll Team after the squad posted a top-25 cumulative grade point average among all Division I institutions for the 2018-19 academic year. The prestigious honor was achieved thanks to a historic year in the classroom. In the fall, Tech placed a program-record 10 student-athletes on the Academic All-Big 12 Teams – nine first-team selections and one second-team nod. The Red Raiders also paced the Big 12 for the second straight year as four student-athletes recorded 4.00 grade point averages.
