Gabi Rodriguez records first career double-double in Auburn win

Gabi Rodriguez recorded 16 digs and 10 assists for her first career double-double as Texas A&M defeated Auburn.

Freshman libero Gabi Rodriguez delivered a standout performance in Texas A&M's 4-set victory over Auburn, recording a career-high 16 digs and a season-high 10 assists. This marked her first career double-double in college volleyball. The Aggies had been on a three-match losing streak prior to this game, and Rodriguez provided much-needed stability in the back row.

Following the match, she became more involved in setting up the offense, ranking second on the team in assists behind Kirra Musgrove. Rodriguez has now reached double-digit digs in 17 out of 19 matches this season, accumulating 254 digs overall. She previously became the fastest freshman in program history to reach 200 career digs in just 16 matches.

Rodriguez's contribution to the team's 73 kills against Auburn showcased her versatility and importance to the Aggies' success. The team will face Georgia on Friday at 6 p.m. CT.
