Sophomore setter Aubrey Edie returns home to Fayetteville, where she played her high school volleyball at Fayetteville High School. In her first trip back home last year, Edie passed out 34 assists.
QUOTING COACH McROBERTS…
"It is another opportunity for us to play a good SEC team on the road, and it is an SEC Network game. This is also another reason it is so great for us to have the SEC Network. I have heard several people say how happy they were to have been able to watch us play Missouri on the SEC Network."
