The Aggies (8-1, 1-0 in Big 12) handed the Tigers their first loss of the season, 30-28, 27-30, 23-30, 30-23, 15-13.

“To be on the road and win against one of the top teams in the Big 12 is huge for our program,” said A&M head volleyball coach Laurie Corbelli. “Both teams played great defense, and our block took a big step tonight.”
The Tigers led the decisive fifth game 12-10, but A&M ran off four straight points and won the game and the match.
