Tarleton State Volleyball wraps up regular season with pair of home matches, faces EKU Thursday

STEPHENVILLE, Texas – Tarleton State Volleyball concludes the regular season with a pair of home matches this week, beginning with Eastern Kentucky on Thursday at 6 p.m. at Wisdom Gym.

Tarleton State meets UAC regular season champions Eastern Kentucky for the second time this season. EKU defeated the Texans 3-0 in the first meeting in Richmond, Kentucky, on Oct. 1.

Libero Leddy Rae Guinn is two digs away from breaking the Division I era single season digs record. She would also crack the top 10 on the program's all-time single season digs list. Freshman Onita Davis was named UAC Freshman of the Week on Monday, her second weekly award of the season.

Tickets start at just $10 and can be purchased online here. Fans unable to attend the match in person can watch on ESPN+ and follow live stats through Stat Broadcast.

FANTASTIC FRESHMAN

Tarleton State Volleyball middle blocker Onita Davis was named United Athletic Conference Freshman of the Week for the second time this season
She is the first Tarleton State freshman to earn multiple conference weekly honors in the same season since 2022. Davis was instrumental in helping the Texans clinch a bid to the conference tournament for the second straight season, hitting .429 while tallying 16 kills.
Davis was named to the UNT Invitational All-Tournament Team and the Wildcat Classic All-Tournament Team earlier this season. Having 13 kills at Texas Tech and 15 kills at Arizona, Davis became the second player in the program's Division I era to obtain multiple 10+ kill matches against Power 4 Conference opponents.
With nine kills and four blocks at Abilene Christian last Thursday, Davis was key in Tarleton State securing a bid to the conference tournament for the second straight season. It is the third time in the Division I era the Texans have qualified for the conference tournament. The Texans also won their fifth straight match over the Wildcats, sweeping three straight.

LEAVE IT TO LEDDY

Tarleton State Volleyball libero Leddy Rae Guinn earned her second United Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week honor in 2026 on Nov. 2.
Guinn is the first Texan since 2024 to win multiple defensive weekly honors from a conference in the same season (Emma Halcomb). She was named UAC Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 12 earlier this year.
Leading the Texans with 33 digs, she helped Tarleton State to a Division I era program record 109 digs at West Georgia (10/31).
Guinn's 33 digs at West Georgia marked the second-most by a Texan in a single match in the Division I era. She previously achieved that mark against Denver on Sept. 11 earlier this season. In addition to nine assists, Guinn also obtained her 1,000th career dig.
The product of Stephenville High School picked up her fifth straight match with 20+ digs. She became the first Texan in the Division I era to accomplish that feat. Guinn is also the first Texan in the last decade to have a streak of five straight matches with at least 20 digs.
With the Texans having the task of replacing Western Athletic Conference Libero of the Year, Morgan Carter, Guinn has played an important role in filling those shoes in 2026. Guinn leads the Texans in digs and digs per set.
She currently has the second-most single season digs in the Division I era, needing just two more digs to break the record in 2026. That mark would also put her in the top 10 in the program's all-time single season digs list.
Guinn picked up her first Division I honor in her team's hometown tournament this year, being named to the 2026 Tarleton State Invitational All-Tournament Team. Her 26 digs in the UAC opener were the most by a Tarleton State player in a conference opener in the D1 era. It was the most digs by a Tarleton State player in a conference opener since 2009.
At nearby Stephenville High School, Guinn earned Honorable Mention All-State honors (TSWA, 4A) and was named District 6-4A Defensive Player of the Year at libero. She guided her team to a 34-6 record and a Region I-4A Final appearance.
Her love for the sport of volleyball began by coming to Tarleton State Volleyball matches as a kid in the old volleyball gym.

MARVELOUS MADISON

Senior middle blocker/outside hitter Madison Frank earned her second career All-Conference honor in 2025.
Frank was named to the All-Western Athletic Conference Second Team in 2025. She earned a spot on the All-WAC Freshman Team in 2023.
Frank, from Aledo, Texas, earned Second Team All-WAC honors after a strong offensive season in 2025. She posted a career-high of 244 kills and had 18 kills against California Baptist (09/25).
She also added 56 blocks, contributing valuable net defense.
She passed Nikki McNorton (2011-12) for sixth on the program's career assisted block list. She is now 11 blocks away from moving to fifth on the program's career assisted blocks list.
Frank had a season-high 15 kills against Central Arkansas (10/8), her most since 18 at California Baptist on Sept. 25, 2025, and her most ever at home.
