Just one AVCA ranked team lost Saturday when Mississippi State won its SEC match against visiting No. 23 Arkansas.

The recaps and top performances follow, but first a look at Sunday’s NCAA Division I volleyball schedule.
The seven ACC match slate features No. 11 Georgia Tech at No. 2 Louisville, while No. 10 Pittsburgh steps out of league play to go to High Point of the Big South.
Top-ranked Texas is back in action at Texas Tech, while in the other Big 12 match of the day Iowa State is at Kansas State.

The Pac-12 has six matches, including No. 9 Stanford home for Washington State, No. 16 Oregon home for Arizona and No. 18 Washington at Cal. Colorado goes to UCLA, Arizona State is at Oregon State and Utah is at USC.
In the SEC, No. 23 Arkansas goes at it again at Mississippi State, Texas A&M is at Georgia and Missouri is at South Carolina.
No. 24 UCF continues its American Athletic Conference “homestand” at Wichita State when it plays Wichita State, which is listed as the visitor. Houston is at Temple.
No. 25 Western Kentucky plays host to Charlotte in Conference USA.
There are still four unbeaten teams, Texas, idle Auburn, UCF and Towson, which plays a Colonial Athletic Association match against visiting N.C. A&T.
