INSIDE THE CENTRAL ARKANSAS SERIES Texas Tech and Central Arkansas will be meeting for the second time in school history after the Red Raiders swept the Sugar Bears in straight sets last year in Lubbock. The 3-0 victory came in the tournament opener of the Texas Tech Invitational where the Red Raiders posted a .329 hitting percentage behind just 10 attacking errors. Amanda Dowdy led Tech with 12 kills while Miara Cave and Aubree Piper each added nine and seven kills each as well. Dowdy also recorded a double-double with 11 digs on the back row. Central Arkansas wrapped the match with 22 attacking errors for a .030 hitting percentage that was caused in part to a 12-3 block advantage for the Red Raiders. TEXAS TECH AGAINST THE SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE Texas Tech is 53-24 all-time against current members of the Southland Conference and 4-0 under head coach Don Flora. This will be the Red Raiders’ second contest against the Southland this year as Tech defeated Northwestern State, 3-1, in the Lonestar Showdown finale on Sept. 1 in Lubbock. Tech has not traveled to face a current Southland member in a non-tournament contest since defeating Sam Houston State, 3-0, on Oct. 10, 1992, in Huntsville. UPCOMING SCHEDULE The Red Raiders return to Big 12 play this weekend when No. 19 Iowa State travels to Lubbock for an 11 a.m. match at the United Spirit Arena. The contest is one of just three home matches for Texas Tech during the month of October as the Red Raiders will travel to Baylor (Oct. 10) and West Virginia (Oct. 13) after facing the Cyclones.
