Just two teams, both 14-0, remain unbeaten in NCAA Division I volleyball after Wisconsin swept visiting Washington on Sunday: No. 1 Pittsburgh, which swept Syracuse in the ACC, and idle South Dakota State (14-0) of The Summit League.
AVCA No. 22 TCU upset Baylor, No. 15 in the VolleyballMag Super 16 Media Poll, and unranked Texas A&M knocked off No. 24 Auburn.
And in their first SEC meeting, No. 7 Texas won the first set 25-23 but then overpowered No. 18 Florida 25-18, 25-14.
Every other ranked team in action swept, except No. 17 SMU, which was taken to the limit at Boston College before getting out of Chestnut Hill with a five-set victory.
Lines of the day: Nia Washington of Ole Miss had 28 kills in a four-set SEC win over visiting LSU. She hit .404 and had two aces, seven digs and a block. Jayden James had 25 kills for Jackson State in its five-set SWAC win over Prairie View. She hit .327 and had 10 digs. Aniya Madkin of Arkansas had 25 kills and hit .385 in the Razorbacks’ four-set SEC win at Oklahoma to go with four digs and a block. And TCU’s Melanie Parra, a frequent visitor to the Line of the Day, had 25 kills, an assist, two aces, a block and 11 digs in that win over Baylor.
The new VolleyballMag Super 16 Media Poll comes out later Monday morning and the AVCA top 25 will be announced in the afternoon. Also Monday, ESPN and Big Ten Network analyst Emily Ehman and VolleyballMag editor Lee Feinswog will have their weekly NCAA Zoom.
