How It Went
Texas started fast and the first set was gone early. The second was the best stretch of the Rebels’ night, Jackson hitting three early kills and Hartsfield adding two more, but the Longhorns pulled clear again. The third was never close. Johnson passed her previous career high for blocks during the match and finished with five.
The Numbers
Texas finished with 41 kills to Ole Miss’s 18 on an identical 93 attack attempts, and the hitting percentages carry the night: .301 for the Longhorns against .011 for the Rebels. Texas took assists 38 to 18 and aces 6 to 1. Ole Miss won the block column 9 to 3, the one category it held. With 17 errors to Texas’s 13 and fewer than half the Longhorns’ kills on the same number of swings, there was no set in which the attack found a rhythm.
Ole Miss closes the regular season Sunday at No. 21 Texas A&M.
