Hogs volleyball bounces back, rolls South Carolina

Arkansas, the No. 10 team in the nation, stayed atop the SEC with the victory.

Days after suffering their first SEC defeat of the season, the Arkansas volleyball team was back in their winning ways Friday.

The 10th-ranked Razorbacks handled South Carolina, 3-1, on the road in Columbia to stay tied atop the SEC with Kentucky, the team that beat Arkansas last time out.

Jill Gillen led Arkansas with 19 kills and 11 digs to go along with two aces. Taylor Head joined her with a double-double, registering 16 kills and 11 digs while adding four blocks.

Jada Lawson had four aces from the service line and Zoi Evans tallied nine blocks to give the Razorbacks a team double-double from those two statistics: 11 aces and 14 blocks.

Arkansas is now 19-3 overall and 9-1 in SEC play. That league mark is the Razorbacks’ best since 2003. The team continues their four-match road trip Sunday at No. 19 Florida.
