The Turning Point
And just like that… LSU found their groove. The third set was all Tigers. Emily Jones served up an ace that swung momentum. LSU took it 25-19. But it was too little, too late.
The Closing Act
Texas sealed the deal in the fourth. Sarah Johnson delivered the final blow with a spike that echoed through the arena. 25-20. Game over.
The Longhorns showed why they're a top-ranked team. LSU? They showed heart. But heart only gets you so far.
