Junior outside hitter Kierra Holst (3.26) and redshirt-sophomore outside hitter Madison Ward (3.01) are the Sooners top two offensive weapons. Ward also ranks third on OU with a 2.27 digs per set average. Junior libero Taylor Migliazzo is the Sooners' defensive leader at 3.50 digs per set, while freshman middle blocker Marion Hazelwood averages 0.91 blocks per set to go with a team-leading .327 hitting percentage.
1st Rotation – Scouting the Longhorns
Texas is a perfect 15-0 on the season and 7-0 atop the Big 12 standings. Along the way, the Longhorns have defeated No. 11 Florida, No. 9 Nebraska and No. 25 Kansas State. Two-time defending Big 12 Player of the Year Haley Eckerman leads Texas with 2.98 kills per set on a .278 hitting percentage.
