The No. 24 Auburn Tigers entered Wednesday night’s matchup with the No. 14 Arkansas volleyball team with momentum and hope.
That momentum and hope quickly faded as the red-hot Hogs were able to take down the Tigers in straight sets to increase their winning steak to 11-straight games. Arkansas allowed Auburn to score just 34 points over the entire match, which was the lowest total allowed since 2015.
The Hogs only allowed Auburn to score six points in the final set, which tied a program record in the modern scoring era for least points allowed in a single set. It was the least amount of points the team has ever allowed to an SEC opponent.
Arkansas won the first set by a score of 25-18, the second set 25-10 and the final set 25-6 to take the match in straight sets.
The volleyball Hogs will look to continue their hot streak following a week-long break. Next Wednesday, Oct. 4, they’ll travel to Baton Rouge to face LSU at 7:00 p.m. The game will be broadcast on SEC Network+.
