Volleyball Falls in Elite Eight Match at #5 Texas

AUSTIN, Texas - A breakthrough season that saw No. 21 Creighton reach its first Elite Eight and compile a nation-leading 23-match win streak came to an end on Saturday night in Austin as fifth-ranked and fourth-seeded Texas swept the Bluejays in the Regional Final.

Scores of the match were 25-19, 25-20, 25-11. Texas advances to play Nebraska in a national semifinal next Thursday in Columbus, Ohio. It's also a rematch of the 2015 national championship match, contested in Omaha.

Texas (26-4) used a 9-0 run in the opening moments of the match to take control of the first set.
