Texas volleyball is currently ranked ninth nationally. But we’ll see how long that lasts, after the Longhorns were dealt yet another early season loss this weekend; this time, the loss came at the hands of No. 6 Louisville during Broadway Block Party at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
Texas’ loss came in three straight sets: 25-12, 28-26, 25-16.
Next up, a road game in their mid-week matchup against SMU on Wednesday.
