The University of Texas at Austin, in Travis County, Texas, released a match preview on November 14: No. 16 Texas Volleyball closes its regular-season schedule on Sunday, November 15, hosting LSU at Gregory Gymnasium in Austin. First serve is set for 1 p.m. CT, with the match streaming live on SEC Network+.
Texas enters the finale at 14-8 overall and 10-4 in SEC play after sweeping Ole Miss on Senior Night on Friday. The Longhorns have won by sweep in six of their last eight matches and are 8-1 at home this season. A victory against LSU would secure the No. 4 seed in the SEC Volleyball Tournament. LSU is 11-12 overall and 6-8 in SEC play after falling to No. 21 Texas A&M in three sets on Friday.
Head coach Jerritt Elliott, in his 26th season at Texas, enters the match with 699 career NCAA Division I victories and 649 wins with the Longhorns. His next victory would make him the 23rd coach in Division I women's volleyball history to reach 700 career victories, while also giving him his 650th win at Texas. Senior outside hitter Torrey Stafford leads Texas with 352 kills, averaging 4.40 per set.
Texas and LSU will meet for the 30th time in program history. The Longhorns own a 25-4 advantage in the all-time series, including a 14-2 record at Gregory Gymnasium, and have won 15 consecutive meetings, sweeping each of the last nine.
