The Razorback volleyball team will continue SEC play at home this week as the Hogs welcome the Georgia Bulldogs and South Carolina Gamecocks to town.

As part of Student Athlete Mental Health Week and on World Mental Health Day, the Hogs are bringing awareness to the cause with green ribbons. Sunday’s 3 p.m. contest with South Carolina is also a special one: the team’s annual Pink Match observing Breast Cancer Awareness Month and honoring those affected by all cancers.

Tori Harper also lands in the top five with 1.31 blocks/set. Overall, the Bulldogs are 9-5.
South Carolina has one ranked win this season, over No. 25 North Carolina on Sept. 12. The Gamecocks are 0-4 in conference play, but three have been to ranked teams: No. 3 Kentucky, No. 22 Tennessee and No. 9 Texas A&M.

After opening conference play with a five-set win over Ole Miss, Arkansas has dropped three in a row to LSU, Mizzou, and Vanderbilt.

A Griffin, Georgia man is now under arrest, charged in connection with a cold case homicide investigation in New Jersey, prosecutors say.
It’s been nearly 37 years since 42-year-old Mauricio Cuadra was shot during an apparent home invasion; now, authorities say 62-year-old Joseph Quiros-Soto is charged with his murder.
Officials say on Aug. 9, 1989, the officers with the Bayonne Police Department responded to reports of a home invasion and shooting at an apartment on the 400 block of Avenue C. Inside the home, they found Cuadra suffering from a gunshot wound. Cuadra died shortly after.
The case remained a mystery until 2024, when Quiros-Soto confessed to the murder to police in Locust Grove, Georgia, saying that he had become a born-again Christian, NJ.com reports.
Police told the outlet that he gave the detectives details of the crime and allowed visiting Hudson County authorities to take a DNA sample, which matched a stain on the victim.
Authorities were eventually able to obtain a warrant for the Georgia man’s arrest. On May 27, 2026, deputies with the Spalding County Sheriff’s Office arrested Quiros-Soto at his home in Griffin, charging him with murder and murder during the commission of a burglary.
Quiros-Soto is being detained in Georgia, awaiting extradition to New Jersey.
