Texas host Tennessee tonight  7pm SEC Network.

I saw an article that makes it seem like Carlson playing all match is by Elliott's choice and not due to Swindle injury.

Texas signee Taylor Harvey won Ms. Volleyball in Arizona.  (That's the player of the year award that transcends school classifications.)

Texas has definitely kick butt the last four matches.

Wenaas, Rutherford, Ames, and Singletary all with at least 4 kills and hitting .800 or better.  Insanely good hitting.

12-6 Texas.  Texas hitting .676 this match so far.  That's unreal. 

Tennessee has 0 blocks so far tonight.  15-9 Texas after Ames block after Ames kill. And another Ames kill of an overpass.  16-9.  Ames having a great night.

Wenaas kill off touch.  Originally rule no touch, but reversed.  17-9.

Sorry, got it wrong.  Call was reversed to be touch, and Tennessee is challenging.

Point to Tennessee.  I thought back line player touched it, but no.  16-10.

Ames on the slide for her 7th kill.  Having a great night.

Shooting fish in a barrel.

Tennessee is not a bad team, but this has been a slaughter.  Texas has just 3 hitting errors with 3 points to go in the second set.

Our hitting percentages are

.889

.833

.778

.571

.500

Sick numbers.  Won second set 25-14. 

 

Nobody seeded #1 wants to see us in their bracket.

Texas is so hot right now. 

Peaking at right time. 

Ames with 9 kills in 10 swings and no errors.  Carlson with a dump.

Tennessee challenging a no touch call.  Texas up 5-2 pending the challenge.

Call confirmed.  5-2

You don't know the difference between Arizona and Utah? WTF ... she's in northern Utah, closer to Idaho and Wyoming than Arizona.

consecutive Vol aces made it 7 all before Skinner blast put Texas up 8-7.

Singletary kill of an overpass.

No, thought Deseret was an Arizona publication, not Utah.  Sorry.

They are rolling

HOOK'EM 

Our hitting slowed a bit this set, but we are up 21-17 and hitting .597 for the match, giving us a chance to set team match record. 

But a swing was returned by Tennessee, and our next swing went long for an error.  Probably not setting a team record tonight.

Rutherford dink falls in to give us still a shot at it.
