Tech will take on the Utes and No. 7 BYU in this week's Big 12 action
LUBBOCK, Texas โย Texas Tech volleyball will head to Salt Lake City to take on Utah on Thursday at 8 p.m. CT before going to Provo and facing No. 7 BYU on Saturday at 7 p.m. CT.
ย
The Red Raiders (8-16, 0-12) will look to grab their first Big 12 win of the season against stout opponents who, historically, are a combined 17-2-1 against Tech.
ย
Utah (13-10, 5-7) split its matches last week, taking down Arizona before dropping its match 3-1 to No. 9 Arizona State. BYU (20-1, 12-0) on the other hand is riding a 17-game winning streak and has lost just seven sets in Big 12 play to this point.
ย
Quick Hits:
Cochran has had a career year so far, already breaking her career-high for assists three separate times including a 63-assist day against Iowa State (9/25), the first Red Raider since 2022 to record 60 assists in a match. Cochran is 7th in the Big 12 in assists per set (8.71) and her 732 total assists ranks fourth in the league.
ย
Texas Tech's Emily Contreras, who is in her fourth year with the program, is ninth in the Big 12 for digs per set (3.57) and her 314 digs is fifth-most overall.
ย
Texas Tech's Sara Bowcutt and Elia Dinsmore have already shown flashes of brilliance in their short careers. The freshmen duo rankings first and second on the team in points and kills, respectively. They both recorded their first career double-double against St. Thomas in the second match of the season and Bowcutt became the first Red Raider this season to record 20 kills in a match when she did so in Tech's win over St. Mary's (9/3) and recorded two more in wins over UTRGV (9/10) and Prairie View A&M (9/10).
ย
Aviya Russo, another freshman, has taken a spot in the starting lineup the last couple of matches. The California native has led the team in kills, blocks and points during both starts including a 12-kill performance against Kansas State last Sunday.
