AUSTIN, Texas – The Ole Miss volleyball program came up short at No. 16 Texas, falling 3-0 on Friday night at Gregory Gymnasium.
The Rebels (8-17, 2-12 SEC) were led by six kills and eight digs from Jaidyn Hartsfield, while the Longhorns (14-8, 10-4 SEC) were paced by 11 kills from Torrey Stafford. Vivianna Samaniego reached 1,000 assists in her collegiate career in the loss.
The hosts would come out of the gate firing, holding the Rebel offense in check and taking a 15-5 lead into the technical timeout. While the Rebels were able to get a pair of blocks and slow the hot start to a degree, Texas would go on to secure the set, 25-10.
Set two got off to a much more promising start for the Rebels, who started to find offensive momentum and hit .353 going into the technical timeout. Ryea Jackson tallied three early kills and Hartsfield added two more, with Texas holding a narrow 15-12 advantage going into the timeout. However, the Longhorns began to pull away, despite multiple Rebel blocks and ultimately took the second set, 25-15.
Texas utilized that momentum and carried it into the third set, quickly building a 7-1 lead. The Rebels regrouped out of the timeout, going on a 6-3 run to cut the deficit to 10-7. However, the Longhorns fought through more good blocking from the Rebels, as Johnson reached a career-high with her fourth block of the match, but the hosts took a 15-10 lead into the break. That lead would only expand, as Texas went on to win the set, 25-14.
Ole Miss is set to wrap up the 2026 regular season on Sunday, traveling to face No. 21 Texas A&M. The match is set for 12 p.m. CT and will be streamed via SEC Network Plus.
