No. 7 Florida volleyball won the battle at the net Friday night, beating No. 19 Texas A&M in four sets, 25-19, 23-25, 25-17, 25-16, in front of 6,464 fans at Reed Arena in College Station.

The Gators (14-2, 5-1 SEC) matched their season high with 16 team blocks and served 10 aces. Texas A&M (10-8, 3-3 SEC) committed 30 attack errors and 11 service errors, [according to TexAgs](https://x.com/TexAgs/status/2111261125828579477?ref=gatorstandard.com). Florida outhit the Aggies .186 to .112, though A&M had more kills (48-44).

### The leaders

- **Kamryn Chaney** led Florida with 12 kills and passed 200 kills for the season.
- **Logan King** had her second double-double of the year with 10 kills and 11 digs.
- **Alec Rothe** added nine kills on .438 hitting and six blocks.
- **Brooklyn Briscoe** led the block party with seven.
- **Taylor Parks** ran the offense with 36 assists, served four aces and had a career-high six blocks.
- **Lily Hayes** led the back row with 14 digs, and **Bella Lee** served three aces.

Texas A&M All-American Kyndal Stowers had 17 kills and 11 digs.

### How it went

Florida held the Aggies to .065 hitting in the first set and pulled away late for a 25-19 win. A&M answered with a 25-23 second set, but the Gators took over from there. A&M hit .000 with just seven kills in the third set, and Florida hit .333 in the fourth, building an 11-point lead before closing it out 25-16.

"Our block got us the rest of those," Florida coach Ryan Theis said. "Then when you throw good serving, block and sideout at them, the score gets a little lopsided."

It was Florida's fifth win over a ranked opponent this season, the most since 2017, and a bounce-back from last Sunday's 3-1 loss at Vanderbilt. Florida is now 24-3 all-time against Texas A&M, according to UF.

### Up next: No. 12 Texas

The road trip ends Sunday at No. 12 Texas at Gregory Gymnasium in Austin. First serve is 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. (More: [No. 7 Gators volleyball heads to Texas for No. 19 Texas A&M and No. 12 Texas](https://www.gatorstandard.com/gators-volleyball-texas-am-texas-weekend-preview/).)
