No. 21 Texas A&M volleyball freshman libero Gabi Rodriguez continues to make her mark in the program's record books after delivering another impressive performance during Friday night's three-set victory over LSU at Reed Arena.
Rodriguez recorded a career-high 23 digs in the Aggies' 25-13, 25-20, 25-21 sweep, tying the second-most digs by a Texas A&M player in a three-set match during the rally-scoring era. The performance marked another milestone in an impressive freshman campaign for Rodriguez, who has quickly established herself as one of the Aggies' most dependable defensive players.
Earlier this season, Rodriguez became the fastest freshman in program historyto reach 300 career digs, doing so in just 24 matches. She has now increased her
season total to 344 digs, putting her within striking distance of another school record.
Rodriguez needs just 11 more digs to surpass Torri Mellinger's freshman single-season record of 354, giving her another chance to make history before the regular season ends. Her performance against LSU also helped Texas A&M snap a three-match losing streak, as the Aggies recorded 64 total digs, their highest total in a three-set match since 2021.
Rodriguez has been a bright spot for head coach Jamie Morrison's squad, especially during a challenging SEC schedule that has tested the Aggies all season.
Texas A&M (15-11, 8-6 SEC) returns to Reed Arena Sunday to face Ole Miss at noon CT in its regular-season finale, giving Rodriguez another opportunity to add her name to the record books.
