Revenge is sweet, let's get more! The No. 3 ranked Texas Longhorns Volleyball team lost just two matches all season. Within three days of each other, Texas lost to Texas A&M and Kentucky back-to-back. Last night, UT got revenge on the Aggies. Tonight they take aim at the Wildcats in the SEC Volleyball Tournament finals in Savana, Georgia.
Texas beat rival A&M last night in the SEC Volleyball tournament 3-1. The third set was epic, with neither team gaining more than a two point advantage and Texas surviving two set points. UT eventually won 27-25 and closed A&M out in the fourth frame.

"I think throughout this entire tournament going into the postseason, I think we're just entering a different stage of Texas volleyball," blocker Ayden Ames said after Monday's match against the Aggies.
Texas hammered Ole Miss (3-0), then beat A&M to get to the finals. The Wildcats path has been similar. Kentucky swept Auburn (3-0) then handled Tennessee last night (3-1).
