The 10th-ranked University of Arkansas volleyball team rallied from a 0-2 hole to claim the reverse sweep with a 3-2 (21-25, 23-25, 25-21, 25-15, 15-8) win on the road at Ole Miss on Wednesday. 

The Razorbacks (23-4, 13-2 SEC) dropped the first two sets, but came back to control the final two sets to notch the win.

Outside hitter Jill Gillen registered a match-high 24 kills, while Taylor Head added 17 and right-side hitter Maggie Cartwright chipped in 15 kills. Setter Hannah Hogue, this week’s SEC Setter of the Week, registered a double-double with 47 assists and 14 digs.
