By Olivia Miller ·
The No. 14 Texas Longhorns host the Georgia Bulldogs at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Austin.
Texas (10-7) and Georgia (14-5) both hold a 6-3 record in conference play. Five other SEC teams, including Kentucky, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, and Missouri, share that same 6-3 mark. Florida leads the league at 8-1, while Tennessee sits at 7-2.
Georgia outside hitter Bianna Muoneke presents a specific threat. The daughter of former Texas basketball player Gabe Muoneke leads the SEC with 383 total kills and 5.11 kills per set. She recently became the 21st player in Georgia history to reach 1,000 career kills.
The Longhorns enter this match after a mixed weekend. They bounced back from a five-set loss to Florida by sweeping South Carolina 25-12, 25-19, and 25-21 on Sunday. Torrey Stafford led the team with 12 kills, while Henley Anderson recorded 11 and Nya Bunton added eight kills and three blocks.
Georgia has lost its last two conference games to Texas A&M and Missouri. The Bulldogs face a difficult finish to the season, with five of their remaining conference matches scheduled against ranked opponents. Texas has five SEC games left on its schedule.
The match airs on the SEC Network. Cari Spears recorded the opening kill off an assist from Rella Binney to start the game at Gregory Gymnasium.
