Overview
- Texas beat defending national champion Texas A&M in straight sets, winning 25-18, 25-19, 25-21 at Gregory Gymnasium.
- The Longhorns moved to 12-7 overall and 8-3 in SEC play, a result that strengthens their bid for a top-four seed in the conference tournament.
- Texas A&M’s four-match winning run that included upsets of No. 7 Kentucky and No. 6 Tennessee ended despite the Aggies integrating many new contributors after nine seniors graduated.
- Texas got balanced production from Torrey Stafford and freshman Henley Anderson, who combined for 23 kills, and sophomore Taylor Harvey added key service aces while Texas hit .375 as a team.
- The result extends the rivalry’s recent back-and-forth pattern from last season and sets Texas up for road games at Missouri and Vanderbilt before the regular-season close.
