The Rebels enter at 8-14 overall and 2-9 in the Southeastern Conference. Oklahoma is 11-9 and 4-7 in league play. Ole Miss has two home matches remaining and could finish the season with eight wins at Gillom, which would be the program’s most since 2023.

The Rebels are 7-0 when they record at least seven service aces and 1-14 when they fall short of that mark, the school said. Freshman Coco Natarajan led Ole Miss in assists against LSU, becoming the program’s first freshman in four years to lead the team in assists in a match. She had a career-high 12 assists in the loss.
