The following weekend, Sept. 5- 7 the Scarlet Knights travel to Fayetteville, Arkansas to meet up with the host Razorbacks, an NCAA Tournament third-round participant, along with Little Rock and Louisiana Tech.

Rutgers volleyball continued to make strides in the toughest conference in the country last season. The Scarlet Knights were honored with its first-ever All-Big Ten attacker, captured the most wins and best nonconference record since 2012, improved its set win total by 45% over the previous season and set a school record in attendance. Rising redshirt junior Alissa Kinkela, who led the team in kills, was named Second Team All-BIg Ten while the Scarlet Knights placed 12 entries into the rally-era individual season top 10 records, 13 entries into the rally-era team top 10 records all while collecting the most sets played, kills, assists, assists per set, digs and solo blocks by a team in conference play since joining the Big Ten in 2014. Rutgers also improved its attendance by 50% while setting a program record of 6,757 in attendance at Jersey Mike's Arena when facing No. 1 Nebraska.
