🔺 A Razorback and a Tiger walk into a Barn... Arkansas volleyball has its third top 25 match at Barnhill Arena this season as the No. 14 Hogs take on the No. 24 Auburn Tigers. This is also the first ranked match between the two programs with Auburn entering the AVCA Coaches Poll for the first time ever this season. The Razorbacks’ ranking of 14th in the latest poll is their highest ranking since 1998.

It’s also Heroes Appreciation Night at Barnhill, and fans will have the chance to snag commemorative Flag Hog t-shirts in a t-shirt toss. The evening will honor service members, first responders, healthcare workers and beyond, and community heroes can get $3 tickets at the door.

Tune in to SEC Network at 7pm for the opening serve, and click here for a full scouting report on the Tigers.

🔺 Mo Goals, Mo Wins. Arkansas forward Morgan White made TopDrawerSoccer’s National Team of the Week for her five-point performance against No. 9 Alabama last week. Morgan had two goals and assist in the Razorbacks’ biggest win over a top-10 program in history, and now leads the Hogs with six goals and 14 points. Catch Morgan and Arkansas back on the pitch tomorrow night at Missouri on SEC Network at 6pm.

🔺 25 Below. Arkansas placed third after 54 holes of stroke play at the SEC Match Play with their fifth-best 54-hole score in program history, a 25-under-par 827. The third and final day of the event, played at the par-71 Birmingham Country Club – West, will be one round of match play on Wednesday with the Razorbacks facing Ole Miss in the third/fourth-place match. Arkansas is 5-0 all-time in match play in the event.

🔺 Chip On The Shoulder. After spending four years playing D2 ball for Texas A&M-Commerce, Andrew Armstrong has become a go-to target for KJ Jefferson and the Hog offense. The under-recruited wideout has always planned on playing on the biggest stages, and is living proof that no two journeys are the same. Check out Andrew’s conversation with Bo Mattingly in this episode of the Hog Pod.

🔺 Five-Year Run. Not many college athletes can say they’ve been two-time All Americans, and yet Anna Podojil is on track to becoming a FIVE-TIME All-American for Arkansas soccer. The records and accolades are great, but the friendships she’s made and matches she’s helped win are what matter most to the Cincinnati native. Click here to watch this special featurette on Anna as her fifth year in Fayetteville rolls on.
