[00:00:14] Hello, welcome to the Roundhouse Rundown, your weekly glance at all things Shocker athletics. Each week we give you a rapid fire listen on events, promotions and ticket deals. There's a trivia question and we wrap it up with Shocker history. This week's trivia question who is the lone Shocker to win national Volleyball Freshman of the Year honors? Is it A Mary Elizabeth Hooper? B. Emily Stockman? Or maybe it's C Mikayla Roudsep. As always, I make you stick around to the end for the answer. Shocker volleyball is 10 and 4 after opening American Conference play with wins over UAB in Memphis. They are home to play Tulsa at 7pm Oct. 3 Friday.
[00:00:54] That match is part of Shocktoberfest and it is also Volleyball Alumni night. The first 250 students receive a pickleball paddle. WSU travels to Tulsa for a Sunday match at 1pm Tulsa is 113 and had a 10 match win streak snapped by Rice, but that win streak was highlighted by wins over Cal Poly, Arkansas and Oklahoma. WSU's 104 record is its best 14 match start to a season since the 2017 Shockers went 113 on Saturday, October 4th, it's shocker madness.

Hooper guided that 2018 to a 32 record 180 in the MVC, a national ranking that peaked at number nine and an NCAA win over Rice.
