Hook 'em! Texas was down in the fourth set in the regional semifinals against Tennessee before forcing a fifth set and coming out on top. Since then, the Longhorns have defeated the top three teams in the country to defend their national title. 2023 is their fourth NCAA Championship.

In the regional finals, Texas knocked off overall No. 2 Stanford, 3-1, in Palo Alto. In the National Semifinals, Texas defeated No. 3 Wisconsin, 3-1, behind stellar serving and defense. Texas's serving pressure also guided them to a 3-0 win against No. 1 Nebraska, recording 12 aces and holding the Cornhuskers to .013 hitting. Texas also swept Louisville in 2022 to win it all.

Texas Outside Hitter Madisen Skinner won her third National Championship, one with Kentucky in Spring 2021 and two more with the horns. She contributed 16 kills. Sixth-year all-star Middle Blocker Asjia O'Neal had five aces and three blocks.
