November 10, 2022 | Volleyball
STARKVILLE – The Mississippi State volleyball team is back at home this week to take on No. 19 Kentucky in the Newell-Grissom Building on Friday.
First serve is set for 8 p.m. CT and the match will be nationally televised on SEC Network. Live stats will be available through StatBroadcast.
"We're certainly excited to welcome No. 19 Kentucky to StarkVegas," head coach Julie Darty Dennis said. "Kentucky is at the top of the conference, but with everything in this league we've got to be our best against every opponent and we're certainly dialed in and prepared. We continue to focus on working hard, being disciplined and staying focused on following the game plan. I think we will certainly be ready to host Kentucky on Friday night. Hail State!"
Setter Gabby Coulter has distributed 9.06 assist per set on the season, which ranks eighth among SEC setters. She has garnered a team-leading fourteen double-doubles this year, her latest coming at Alabama (11/05) with 26 assists and 11 digs.
Gabby Waden has belted a team-leading 3.61 kills per set on a .290 hitting percentage. She has totaled 10-plus kills during 21 of her last 23 outings. Waden has produced three double-doubles on the season, her latest coming at LSU (10/30) with 22 kills and 11 digs.
Lauren Myrick has powered home 2.58 kills per set to go along with 2.27 digs and 0.22 aces per set. Myrick has collected seven double-doubles on the season. Her latest double-doubles came at LSU (10/30) with 10 kills and 16 digs.Â
Freshman Sophie Agee has appeared in nine matches this season for the Bulldogs. In her nine appearances, she has issued 1.12 kills and 0.32 blocks per set.
Middle blocker Deja Robinson has tucked away 0.94 blocks per set, while recording 1.58 kills per set. Robinson has also registered a .333 hitting percentage. Sania Petties has chipped in 1.68 kills and 0.67 blocks per set, while compiling a .307 attacking percentage.
Libero Lilly Gunter has sprawled out 10-plus digs in 20 of her 23 starts while wearing the libero jersey. Her 4.11 digs per set rank third among SEC liberos and first on the MSU squad.
"It feels like it's been a while since we've been at home," Dennis said. "Playing on our home court is certainly a privilege that we love and we're excited to get a whole lot of fans in the Griss. I know we've got an action-packed Friday in StarkVegas with soccer hosting the NCAA Tournament, women's basketball playing North Alabama and then our match that evening, but we're hoping that our family will come out and support all the women's sports that are going on Friday. Be loud, be proud and help us rally to get a huge win over a good team."
