Tech hosts Tarleton State to close homestand

Tech hosts Tarleton State to close homestand

Texas Tech volleyball closes out its homestand Tuesday night at 6 p.m., hosting Tarleton State inside United Supermarkets Arena. The Red Raiders enter at 6-2 while the Texans sit at 3-6, and this marks the fourth straight home match for Tech.

The Red Raiders enter at 6-2 while the Texans sit at 3-6, and this marks the fourth straight home match for Tech. The team is looking to protect its perfect record on its own court. Tech has faced Tarleton twice before and won both meetings, including a 3-0 sweep back in 2022 in Lubbock, and the most recent matchup didn't even go four sets.

Three players give this squad some real staying power. Katelyn Cochran, Emily Contreras and Reagan Engler have all spent their entire four-year careers with the program, the kind of continuity that matters when a team is trying to protect a home winning streak. Freshmen Sara Bowcutt and Elia Dinsmore have made an early impact, ranking first and third on the team in points despite being new to the roster.

For anyone in Lubbock looking for a Tuesday night out, this is a chance to watch a young, deep Tech squad before the schedule shifts elsewhere. A win keeps the streak alive and gives the freshmen more court time to build on their fast start.
