COLLEGE STATION, Texas. \u2013 The Alabama volleyball team (8-4, 0-3 SEC) fell to No. 14 Texas A&M (9-5, 2-0 SEC) in three sets (18-25, 22-25, 19-25) on Friday night at Reed Arena. The Crimson Tide matched the Aggies with 12 blocks and held them to their third lowest-hitting percentage of the season.<\/p>\n
There were plenty of positives to take away from the match that Alabama hopes to carry into the rest of the weekend. Lily Gervase<\/a> had an amazing defensive performance, recording a career-high eight blocks. Addsion Engel and Kaleigh Palmer<\/a> each finished with four blocks which heavily contributed to Alabama’s season high of 12 rejections. The Crimson Tide ended up holding the Aggies to a .167 hitting percentage.<\/p>\n Palmer led the team with seven kills as Laney Hennessee<\/a> trailed right behind her with six. The junior setter Hannah Parant<\/a> recorded a season-high five kills for the fourth time this year, adding 18 assists and six digs.<\/p>\n From Head Coach Rashinda\u00a0Reed<\/p>\n “I was really proud of our team today. I think it was a nice response from our last match, even though it’s not ideal losing in three sets. Right now, we’re just thinking about the journey, and I felt like they came out confident, positive and there’s a lot of positive things defensively that we did. Now the next phase of our game is working on point scoring and executing a little bit more because I felt like if we would have done that, who knows what the game would’ve looked like.”<\/p>\n Highlights<\/p>\n
