Alyssa Dinh<\/a> was one of seven players selected for the Preseason All-UAC Team. Dinh’s placement on the All-UAC Preseason Team marks the third consecutive year the Texans have had representation on a preseason all-conference team.
\n\tShe had a season-high 11 kills on a .733 hit percentage against Sam Houston (9\/10). That hit percentage ranks fifth on the program’s all-time list for single match hit percentage.
\n\tAfter missing the first six matches, Dinh quickly took over the Texans and became one of the most impactful front-row players in the WAC last season.\u00a0
\n\tShe closed the season with 86 kills and an attacking percentage of .286. Her 1.51 kills per set made her one of the WAC’s most efficient attackers.\u00a0
<\/p>\nTOUGH TESTS<\/p>\n
\n\tTarleton State Volleyball has challenged itself with its non-conference schedule, especially early on in the season.\u00a0
\n\tThe Texans have played two teams that were receiving votes in the AVCA Top 25 Polls (Arizona and Rice), with both matches played on the road.\u00a0
\n\tTarleton State has five opponents in its non-conference slate that finished in the top 100 in the NCAA’s RPI Rankings last year (UCSB, Arizona, Rice, North Texas, West Virginia).\u00a0
\n\tThe Texans have three 2025 NCAA Tournament teams on its schedule (Arizona, Rice, Central Arkansas). Arizona and Rice both advanced in the big dance a year ago.\u00a0
\n\tThree of those matches are against Power 4 conference opponents (Arizona, Texas Tech, West Virginia). It is the most matches against Power 4 conference competition since the program became a Division I school.
