LEXINGTON, Ky. – For the first time in program history, Auburn Volleyball has breached the AVCA/Taraflex top 25 Coaches Poll, coming in a No. 25 on Monday.
 
The Tigers are one of five SEC schools to feature in the top 25.
 
Head coach Brent Crouch has his squad firing on all cylinders once again. The Tigers are 5-0 to begin the year for the third time in as many seasons under Crouch. Over the weekend in Tallahassee, Florida, Auburn slid past SMU and an impressive Florida State team that was receiving votes in last week's poll.
 
Auburn ended the 2022 campaign receiving 29 votes following its historic season that culminated in the second-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament and a first-round win over then-No. 14 Creighton.  
 
Crouch and co. continue return to the Plains this weekend, hosting the Tiger Invitational Sept. 7-9. Auburn takes on Middle Tennessee on Thursday, Sept. 7 at 6 p.m. CT. The squad will follow up with matches against Charleston Southern on Friday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. CT and Mercer on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. CT.
 
All matches are free admission and will also be streamed live on SEC Network Plus.
