Texas Longhorns beat Minnesota Golden Gophers to reach NCAA volleyball final

OMAHA, Neb. -- This isn't Jerritt Elliott's most imposing Texas volleyball team. It's his most experienced, though, when it comes to the NCAA tournament.

That seasoning served the Longhorns well Thursday night at the sold-out CenturyLink Center, where they won a battle of wills against Minnesota in the national semifinals.

Amy Neal had a career-high 25 kills, and Texas won in four sets to move to the championship match Saturday against No. 9 Kansas or No. 4 Nebraska.
