Texas, powered by Logan Eggleston, seeks a fourth NCAA volleyball title
Logan Eggleston and the Texas Longhorns are back in the NCAA Final Four as the favorite after losing just once this season.AUSTIN — Logan Eggleston didn’t want Tuesday’s practice at Gregory Gym to end. The Texas star would have stayed in her volleyball palace all day savoring every soaring spike, every scorching ace, every shared laugh with one of the finest teams of coach Jerritt Elliott’s 22-year run.
Eggleston’s days of conquering visiting teams at the Greg are done, but the fifth-year outside hitter hopes she’ll return sometime in the near future to see a “2022 NCAA National Champions” banner hanging alongside the ones from 1981, 1988 and 2012. Everything gravitates around Eggleston, a multifaceted superstar and devastating offensive force. And she’s orbited by an exceptional array of talent, including five other American Volleyball Coaches Association All-Americans: first-team senior libero Zoe Fleck redshirt senior and middle blocker Asjia; third-year sophomore outside hitter Madison Skinner; and honorable mention senior setter Saige Ka'aha'aina-Torres and junior opposite hitter Molly Phillips.
“In a typical season you’re managing two or three players a little bit more than the rest. I haven’t had to do that at all,” said Elliott, now coaching in his 10th Final Four. “And just the way that they're approaching this and way they're talking before practice and during practice and how hard they're working, you can tell they're really determined.
