Come be part of history as the volleyball team begins its inaugural season as a member of the Southeastern Conference. The match against the Bobcats also takes on added significance as A&M head coach Laurie Corbelli will be aiming for the 500^th victory of her head coaching career, as well as her 400^th victory at A&M.

Corbelli, who is entering her 20^th season at the helm of the Aggies and the 26^th year of her head coaching career and will be coaching the 800^th match of her career in the season opener, returns 10 letterwinners - including four starters plus the libero -- from last year's team that went 23-8 and reached the second round of the NCAA tournament. She also welcomes one transfer and seven highly touted freshmen who represent the 20^th-ranked recruiting class in the nation.
