NOTES TO KNOW:

• Where We Stand: Texas State entered conference play with a 5-6 record after having a challenging preseason slate. Through the first 11 matches, Texas State faced two top 25 opponents in #9 Arizona State and #4 Stanford, and one match against UCLA, who was receiving votes in the AVCA poll. Texas State faced eight schools who made postseason appearances last season. So far in conference play, Texas State is 7-5 with two wins vs ULM and Southern Miss, split series against South Alabama, Troy and Louisiana and two losses to Arkansas State.
• Preseason Polls: The Bobcats were selected to finish first place in the West Division in the 2025 Sun Belt Conference Preseason Poll. Texas State also had two players, Jade Defraeye and Sam Wunsch, be named Preseason All-Conference.
• Win tHe daY: The 2025 team mantra is 'Win tHe daY' which serves as the team's reminder to do the work each day to get to their goals in the postseason. Texas State is hoping to make a Sweet 16 appearance for the first time in program history this year, and winning each day is what it's going to take to get there. Whether it's making sure work is done in the classroom, giving your all at practice, or in the treatment room, winning the day is this team's WHY for the season.

  • Also returning for the Bobcats is Alyssa Clark, Brooke Bentke, Nina Moorer, Caelyn Emmerling, Anna Blaine and Ally Adair
• Newcomers: The Bobcats are welcoming four freshmen and two transfers to the team this season.
  • Incoming freshmen includes outsides Britton Finley, Isabella Andrews and Adison Ozuna, and middle blocker Ashley Euston who spent her spring 2025 season at Mizzou.
  • Pacific transfer, Dylan Gilkey, joins the squad as a setter.
  • Cal State Fullerton transfer, Ameena Campbell, joins the squad as an outside.
• Meet the Staff: Head Coach Sean Huiet is in his sixth year in charge and has a 129-58 record in his tenure. Huiet returns Keith Anderson (6^th year), Charli Fouts (5^th year) and Drew Carter (2^nd year) to his staff this season. 
  • Additionally, Huiet has brought on graduate assistant coach Callahan Hefner to the staff. He joins the program after previously being a manager at Grand Canyon.
