JONESBORO, Ark. (9/21/18) – The Arkansas State volleyball team swept Troy 3-0 (25-22, 26-24, 25-18) as both teams began Sun Belt Conference play Friday night inside First National Bank Arena.
A-State (9-5, 1-0 SBC) won its seventh straight match, tying last season’s longest win streak, and improved to 5-2 in Sun Belt openers under head coach David Rehr. The Red Wolves hit .207 in the match and held Troy (6-8, 0-1 SBC) to a .096 percentage.
“I thought we played well tonight in an important match with conference season opening up,” Rehr said. “There’s always a bit of a different mindset once you enter conference matches because that’s what determines your standing and your ability to get a higher seed in the SBC Tournament and a chance at the automatic bid.
