The ninth-ranked Arkansas volleyball finished off its best regular season in almost 25 years on Friday.
With a 3-2 win over Auburn, the Razorbacks reached 25 wins for the first time since 1999. Arkansas’ final regular-season record was 25-5 overall and the team went 15-3 in SEC play, ensuring a finish no worse than third.
Arkansas will be selected to the NCAA Tournament, but the question is at what seed and where. The selection show is Sunday at 5 p.m. and the Razorbacks’ resume suggests Arkansas will host its first two games at Barhhill Arena. Those first two games would be either Thursday and Friday or Friday and Saturday.
To get there, the Hogs have to rally from a 2-1 hole against the Tigers, winning the final set 17-15 to clinch.
Taylor Head scored a team-high 23 kills with 17 digs and Jill Gillen became just the second Arkansas player in school history to reach 2,000 kills when she cracked 16.
