BOZEMAN, Mont. – North Texas volleyball will travel to wrap up its non-conference schedule at the Bobcat Invitational on Sept. 16-17.
UNT will open the tournament against its second consecutive ranked opponent, No. 18 Washington at 11 a.m. CT on Friday, Sept. 16. North Texas have only met the Huskies in one previous matchup, a defeat in the 2002 Mean Green Classic in Denton.
Kristee Porter's team will face Boise State in the second match of a doubleheader at 4 p.m. CT on Friday in Shroyer Gymnasium. The Mean Green are winless in 10 matches versus the Broncos, with the last meeting at the North Texas Invitational in 2015.
The final contest of the weekend is set for Saturday, Sept. 17 against host Montana State at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN+. The two sides are tied 1-1 all-time with last season's hard-fought, five-set defeat to the Bobcats at the North Texas Challenge providing the backdrop for the matchup. Returning senior Avery McCrillis had a career-best 20 kills and 45 attacks with 10 digs and two aces in the match.
The Mean Green enter the tournament among the best in the nation in several statistical categories. North Texas is currently second in team kills (550) and team assists (517) with a seventh-place mark in team attacks at 1,490. The team's defense has also posted impressive numbers, currently 10th in the country with 98 total blocks and 12th in digs at 625.
UNT are led by Treyaunna Rush, Sh'Diamond Holly and Aleeyah Galdeira all of whom are top-10 in the nation in their respective categories. Rush is currently sixth in the country with 165 kills and seventh in points at 184 for the season. Holly ranks sixth with 53 total blocks and Galdeira is fourth with 217 digs and 23rd in digs per set at 5.05.
