Middle blockers Allison White and Karrington Jones served as a strong force for the Red Raiders as they threw up numerous blocks throughout the match. White finished the contest with two solo blocks and three block assists while Jones collected one solo block and four block assists.
- Texas Tech came in at No. 79 in this week's RPI rankings.

-  Thanks to the Red Raiders' win at West Virginia, the Red Raiders have recorded three Big 12 wins this season – the first time Tech has achieved this feat since the 2004 season. Tech has taken down Kansas State, Iowa State and West Virginia on their home courts.
- Junior Allison White is just 16 blocks away from reaching the 300th block of her career. She tallied 121 blocks as a freshman in 2017 before racking up 80 as a sophomore in 2018. White currently boasts 83 blocks this season. Only 10 Red Raiders have recorded 318 or more blocks in program history.
- A handful of Red Raiders rank in the league's top 10. Emily Hill ranks second in kills per set (4.29) and points per set (4.77) as well as eighth in aces per set (0.26). Emerson Solano sits third in the league with 4.02 digs per set, Alex Kirby ranks sixth with 9.75 assists per set, Tatum Rohme ranks seventh with 9.67 assists per set and Karrington Jones ranks 10th overall with 0.95 blocks per set.

- Â Picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 Preseason Poll, Texas Tech has posted three victories over higher-seeded conference opponents. Tech topped fourth-ranked Iowa State (3- 1), Kansas State (3-0) and Kansas (3-2) in the front half of Big 12 play.
-  The Red Raiders have posted a trio of key wins against teams ranked higher in the NCAA Women's Volleyball RPI. Tech opened up the season with a clean sweep over VCU – who currently ranks 48th – before edging 49th-ranked Ohio State, 3-2. Tech's other victory against a higher-ranked team came when they downed Iowa State (30th) by a score of 3-1 in Ames, Iowa.
- Â 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.

- 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.
