Tech recorded its best offensive performance of the season in the three-set win hitting .398 as a team while holding Oklahoma to a .186 clip.

The reigning Big 12 Freshman of the Year, outside hitter Aliyah Carter tallied 23 kills on a .327 clip in the Wildcats win over TCU, earning her Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors.
- The Red Raiders and Wildcats sit in a five-way tie for fourth place behind first place Texas (8-0), Baylor (7-1) and Iowa State (4-4). Tech, Kansas State, Kansas, Oklahoma and West Virginia are all log jammed in the fourth spot in the standings with four conference series remaining this season.
