Junior Chiaka Ogbogu led the Horns with eight blocks, while junior setter Chloe Collins had 39 assists.
• Neal was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week on Oct. 19 for the second time this season (also earned the award on Sept. 28). She led the Big 12 in kills and points per set on the week with an average of 6.33 kills and 7.00 points. She also hit .485, which ranked fourth in the conference.
• The Longhorns are hitting .309 this season for the third-best mark in NCAA Division I. Eighty two percent of the team's kills (from Neal, Obogu, Prieto Cerame and McCage) are hitting .322 (664 kills out of 812).
• The last time Texas lost a road match in the Big 12 was during the current seniors' (McCage, Brooks, Neal) freshmen season (November 24, 2012 at Iowa State) for a streak of 18-straight. The last time Texas lost a true road match was on August 30, 2013 at Hawaii. McCage, Brooks and Neal are 52-2 in Big 12 matches and 26-1 on the road in the Big 12.
