• The match was the first between the two programs. It marked the first time Tech faced an opponent from the Big East since falling to Syracuse, 3-1, on Sept. 8, 2007 in Syracuse, N.Y.
• Tech's .412 hitting percentage in the first set was its average in the opening frame since hitting .417 against No. 2 Texas on Nov. 11, 2009.
• Dating back to 1998, no Tech freshman had recorded double-digit kills in back-to-back matches to start a career until Breeann David, who had 11 kills last night against TCU and 14 against UConn.
• David's .500 hitting percentage was also the highest for a Red Raider with at least 10 kills since Barbara Conceicao posted a .526 average Sept. 11, 2009 against Gonzaga.
• Amanda Dowdy's 36 attempts were her fewest in a match since also recording 36 last season at Texas on Oct. 16.
• Dowdy enters this afternoon's match with Grambling State five kills shy of tying Brande Brown (1994-97) on the school's career chart. After recording 18 kills against the Huskies, Dowdy now has 1,078 over her career.
• Dowdy also moved up the career attacks chart midway through the match as she passed Sabrina Zenon (1999-02) for fourth overall. Dowdy now has 2,990 attempts in her career. Christine Martin is currently third on the chart with 3,181 career attempts.
• Miara Cave's .472 hitting percentage marked a new career high, surpassing her previous high of .462 set on Nov. 7, 2009 against Colorado.
