Kaia Castle delivers career night for Texas A&M volleyball
Aggie middle blocker Kaia Castle hit .576 without an attack error across 33 attempts in the Aggies' five-set loss to No. 6 Wisconsin.
On a challenging night for the No. 19 Texas A&M volleyball team, junior middle blocker Kaia Castle delivered an extraordinary performance at Reed Arena against No. 6 Wisconsin. Despite the Badgers controlling the net and recording 17 team blocks, Castle's impressive play turned a tough match into a night to remember. Facing a Wisconsin front line that consistently blocked their shots, Castle managed an astonishing 19 career-high kills without committing an error across 33 attempts, securing a .576 hitting percentage.
This remarkable feat surpassed her previous career high of 12 kills and even matched her total from a previous victory against Stanford. In a match that saw several of her teammates struggle to get past the Badgers' block, Castle's efficiency and offensive prowess shone through. Despite Texas A&M's opening set victory (25-18) and subsequent lead in the third set (25-23), they ultimately fell to Wisconsin in a final score of 15-11.
Castle's career night not only highlighted her skills but also added another reliable offensive threat to the Aggies' roster as they navigate through one of the toughest nonconference schedules in the nation. Texas A&M will return to action on Tuesday at 6 p.m. when they host SFA at Reed Arena.
