No. 9 Tennessee volleyball knocks off Arkansas 3-1 at home

Tennessee volleyball extended its SEC winning streak to four games with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Arkansas at home, ending a stretch of three consecutive sweeps. The Volunteers overcame a tight first set (25-23) and a Razorbacks comeback in the second (25-19) to close out the match with dominant performances in sets three and four (25-19, 25-20).

Tennessee’s offensive firepower at the net proved decisive, with Jalyn Stout, Chelsea Sutton, and Kennedi Rogers combining for 43 kills—Stout alone accounting for 19, the team’s highest total. Arkansas coach Jason Watson acknowledged Stout’s impact, noting her speed and range disrupted their defensive plans despite their preparation.

The Razorbacks, led by Romani Thurman (11 kills) and Parker Duncan (13 kills), fought back in the second set but struggled to maintain momentum in the final two frames. Tennessee’s resilience and offensive efficiency secured the win, while Arkansas will look to rebound in its final home match of the homestand against Kentucky on Sunday.
