Texas (27-1) took the second set 25-19 and built an early 8-2 lead in the third set before Wisconsin mounted an attack, only to fall short 25-23.
All-American Logan Eggleston had a match-high 17 kills for the Longhorns, who advanced to play 2nd ranked Kentucky in Saturday night’s title match.

This season did not end how anyone wanted it to end. Hell, it didn’t happen how anyone wanted it to happen either, but there the Wisconsin Badgers were in a convention center in Omaha, Neb. battling with the best teams in college volleyball until the final serve on Thursday night.
The road comes to an end in Omaha
Proud of how this team battled through adversity not just this season, but this whole year
