Flora Postmatch
• The loss marked Texas Tech's 21st-straight at the hands of Texas as the Longhorns now maintain a 71-9-2 advantage in the series.
• The Red Raiders dropped their 46th-straight match to a ranked opponent as Tech has not defeated a top-25 team since topping then-No. 20 Kansas State on Nov. 20, 2004.
• The match marked the third against a ranked opponent this season for Tech, which has already faced the conference's three teams in the AVCA top 25 poll.
• Texas' nine service aces marked a season high for a Tech opponent this season, surpassing the seven the Red Raiders gave up in their Sept. 19 match at North Texas.
• The Red Raiders were nearly held without an ace for the second-straight match as Tory Vaughan dropped Tech's only one late in the third set. Tech has recorded only two aces over its last three matches.
• Texas' .323 hitting percentage marked the highest for a Tech opponent this season and only the first time a team had been over .300 all year against the Red Raiders.
• Tech is now 0-5 on the year when trailing in hitting percentage. The Red Raiders are also 1-5 when trailing in kills this season as well.
• Amanda Dowdy failed to post a double-double for the second-straight match and only the fifth time all season. Her four digs marked her fewest since also having four against Texas-Pan American on Sept. 6.
• Dowdy's 12 kills in the match moved her just 27 shy of tying Melissa McGehee for second all-time as the senior became only the third player to surpass 1,300 kills in a career. McGehee recorded 1,333 kills during the 1999-02 seasons.
