Texas volleyball faces USC after losing Abby Vander Wal for season

Texas volleyball prepares for its home opener against USC on Wednesday following a significant roster change. The team recently lost starting outside hitter Abby Vander Wal for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury sustained during a victory over TCU. Head coach Jerritt Elliott has moved the team from a 6-2 rotation back to a 5-1 system in response to the personnel change. Texas enters the match with a 2-2 record after a recent three-set loss to Nebraska. The Longhorns are currently playing through a challenging nonconference stretch that features seven ranked opponents in eight games. This schedule is intended to prepare the team for SEC play beginning late in September.
