lost to Kentucky 3-1<\/a> during conference play Oct. 8. (To the\u00a0Aggies’ credit, they were the first team in SEC play to win a set against Kentucky, in the Wildcats’ fourth conference game.) A&M head coach Jamie Morrison said he was disappointed that the Aggies couldn’t push the eventual SEC champions\u00a0to five sets, but outside hitter Logan Lednicky\u00a0said that match showed glimpses of what the Aggies can be.\u00a0<\/p>\nIf Kentucky (30-2) wins, it will be its first national championship since the 2020 season. If A&M wins, it will be the first national title in volleyball for the Aggies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
