LUBBOCK, Texas – The Red Raiders (9-12, 1-8) will host Arizona (11-8, 5-4) on Wednesday night at 6 p.m. in the United Supermarkets Arena. Fans are invited to a pre-game trick-or-treat located on the concourse near the entrance to the arena.

Texas Tech is coming off its first Big 12 win of the season as they took down UCF in Orlando 3-1 on Saturday afternoon. The Red Raiders played in a close contest just a few days prior against No. 24 Colorado as they took the Buffaloes to five sets but weren’t able to complete the upset.

Arizona is coming off a loss to No. 6 Arizona State on Saturday at home and are 4-4 on the road this season, three of those wins coming against Big 12 opponents.

The freshmen duo of Kalli Jioshvili Ravva and Kenna McKenzie has taken over the last two matches for Texas Tech. They finished first and second in kills against both Colorado and UCF as Jioshvili Ravva notched a career-high 25 kills against the Buffaloes as she added 17 digs for her fourth double-double of the season. McKenzie also recorded a season high against Colorado, putting up 16 kills.

Quick Hits:

Freshman outside hitter Kalli Jioshvili Ravva was incredible in her first weekend in Lubbock, Texas. She recorded back-to-back double doubles against Ole Miss and Incarnate Word. The French native tallied 54 kills in the Red Raider Classic including 22 against Ole Miss, which made her the first Red Raider this season to eclipse the 20-kill mark. She got it done on defense as well, recording a career-high 21 digs against Incarnate Word to help her finish the weekend with 40 digs. More recently, the freshman set a new career high with 25 kills against No. 24 Colorado while hitting almost .400. She also notched 17 digs.

For most players, a “sophomore slump” is a common occurrence. For Addie Kanouff, her sophomore year has been a welcomed sight for the Red Raiders. After appearing in just four matches last season, the 6’5 rightside has taken on a much bigger role this year and she has performed brilliantly. Kanouff is currently first on the team in kills (185), points (212.0) and second on the team in hitting percentage (.228), attacks (499) and blocks (48.0). She recorded a career-high 16 kills in Tech’s win over UAlbany and has recorded five matches where she has hit over .300 with 10+ kills.

Freshmen Kenna McKenzie and Shelby Ignash have seen increased playing time over the course of the preseason as they continue to take advantage of their opportunities. Setters Peyton Dunn and Katelyn Cochran have done a stellar job of setting up their hitter for success as Cochran recently recorded 52 assists in a match, a career best. Sierra Grizzle is top 30 in the country in total digs (391) and currently leads the Big 12 in digs per set (4.71) and total digs.

The Red Raiders are the only team in the country to have at least nine freshmen while also having zero true seniors. Tech has three graduate seniors and are one of just four teams in the country that has zero true seniors joining Princeton, Villanova and Memphis in this unique feat. Tech’s nine freshmen are also the second most in the country behind St. Mary’s, Pacific, Holy Cross and Wichita St. who all have 10.
