What a game for the ages! The Texas A&M Aggies volleyball team pulled off an incredible comeback against the Louisville Cardinals to advance to the Elite Eight for the first time in over 20 years.
It was a frustrating start for A&M. After leading in both of the first two sets, they failed to close out either one—the second set being the most painful. Up five points late, they surrendered an 8-0 run to drop the set 25-22, falling behind 2-0, with every remaining set a must-win.

That’s exactly what they did: win, win, and win. After a back-and-forth third set, A&M edged out a 25-23 victory, then dominated the fourth 25-18 to force a winner-take-all fifth. Louisville battled hard, keeping it tight until the end, but ultimately A&M sealed the match on a kill from senior Logan Lednicky.
Coach Jamie Morrison has elevated the Aggies to new heights in a short time, well on his way to restoring the program as a national powerhouse. Below are some of the best reactions to the 3-2 comeback win over Louisville.
