Texas volleyball dropped in Monday’s American Volleyball Coaches Association rankings to No. 16.
The Longhorns (13-8, 9-4 SEC) split its weekend road trip with a sweep over unranked Missouri before failing to close out the Sunday match against Vanderbilt in five sets. Outside hitter Torrey Stafford led the way with 20 kills but the Longhorns serve-receive allowed eight aces from the Commodores, who are now No. 15.

Vanderbilt, tied for second in the SEC at 10-3, also beat Texas A&M in four sets Friday night. If the Commodores win out the regular season, they could have done enough to secure a double-bye in the SEC volleyball tournament, which is awarded to the top four teams. UT is tied with Tennessee for third place, a game behind Vanderbilt and Kentucky and three games behind Florida.
Texas returns to Austin to play Ole Miss at 6:30 p.m. Friday in Gregory Gymnasium.
