Tarleton State Volleyball continues Texas road trip at UTSA, UIW this weekend

SAN ANTONIO – Tarleton State Volleyball is set to compete at the UTSA Invitational in San Antonio this weekend, taking on UTSA on Friday at 6 p.m. and Incarnate Word on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Friday's match will take place at UTSA's Convocation Center and Saturday's match will be at UIW's McDermott Center.

UTSA won the opening match of the UTSA Invitational in a five-set thriller over UIW on Thursday, 3-2. Tarleton State will face UTSA for the third time in program history, the second time in the Division I era.

The Texans will meet UIW for the 35th time in program history. It is the first meeting against both teams since 2023.

Both matches will be broadcast on ESPN+ and live stats will be provided through StatBroadcast (Friday) and Sidearm (Saturday).

FANTASTIC FRESHMEN

Tarleton State's freshmen have shined in the Texans' non-conference matches.
Middle Blocker Onita Davis and outside hitter Jacqui McClain were both named to the Wildcat Classic All-Tournament Team.
McClain led with a match-high 10 kills to go with 10 digs for her first collegiate double-double against Prairie View A&M (8/30). Her double-double made her the first freshman since 2021 to have a double-double in at least one of her first three collegiate matches (Trinity Vinzant).
McClain also had five service aces, tying the most by a freshman in a match in the Division I era.
McClain followed suit with a career-high 18 kills at (RV) Rice (9/2).
Davis had 15 kills at Arizona (8/29), the most by a Tarleton State freshman against a Power 4 opponent.
Setter Kingsley Minus produced back-to-back double-digit assist outings at Arizona (17) and Prairie View A&M (14).

STEPHENVILLE STRONG

Stephenville native Leddy Rae Guinn is playing an important role in 2026.
With the Texans having the task of replacing Western Athletic Conference Libero of the Year, Morgan Carter, Tarleton State turned to a player from its own backyard.
Guinn transferred to Tarleton State last year after spending a season at Lubbock Christian in 2024.
She came up with a Division I high 19 digs at (RV) Rice (9/2).
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.

Sister, Sister

Tarleton State Volleyball has a pair of players who are currently playing college volleyball.
Freshman middle blocker Onita Davis' older sister, Suli Davis, is an outside hitter at SMU. Suli was a Second Team All-American in 2025 and was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year last season.
The Davis sisters run their own charitable organization, the Hope+Humble Foundation. The foundation empowers young female athletes by providing support and volleyball sessions to grow confidence for female adolescents.
Senior setter Alexis Massey's younger sister, Addison, is currently a pin for the K-State Volleyball team. Addison was named to the K-State Invitational All-Tournament Team in August.
