No. 3 seed Longhorns rally past USC, outlast UCLA for first MPSF title. By: Stella Lin HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – No. 3 Texas Beach Volleyball, the tournament's No. 3 seed, defeated No. 5 USC in the semifinals and No. 1 UCLA, the tournament's No. 2 seed, in the final to win the 2026 MPSF Championship on Friday at Spiker Beach. The title marks the program's first MPSF Tournament championship in its first season in the conference. Texas opened the day with a 3-2 semifinal victory over No. 5 USC, the tournament's No. 4 seed. The Trojans claimed the first two points before the Longhorns responded with three straight wins to complete the comeback. Brecht Piersma and Katie Hashman started the rally on Court 1 with a 21-18, 21-17 win. Macey Butler and Karin Zolnercikova followed on Court 5, battling to a 21-16, 17-21, 15-13 victory to even the dual. The clincher came on Court 3, where Emma Grace Robertson and Lily Davis rebounded after dropping the opening set to secure a 22-24, 21-18, 15-7 win. In the championship dual, Texas again found itself trailing as UCLA built a 2-0 lead with wins on Courts 2 and 4. The Longhorns answered on Court 3, where Robertson and Davis delivered a straight-sets victory, 21-17, 26-24. Less than 10 seconds later, Piersma and Hashman tied the dual on Court 1 with a three-set win, 21-19, 10-21, 15-13. The title came down to Court 5, where Butler and Zolnercikova clinched the championship. After dropping the first set, the pair rallied to win 16-21, 21-18, 15-9 and secure the title for Texas. The Longhorns finished the tournament undefeated, recording wins over No. 6 seed Grand Canyon, No. 2 seed UCLA twice and No. 5 USC. Texas has now defeated top-ranked UCLA three consecutive times and went 3-0 against both USC and Grand Canyon during the 2026 season.

Conference Champs defeats UCLA 3-2

Texas defeated USC 3-2. next vs UCLA later today

Hell the entire team is in batting slump.

Texas vs USC semifinal 10 am Friday

Love it.

Typical stupid cowgirls move

Yes conference play. Next match will be against the winner of Grand Canyon and USC on Friday.

Yes

Vic may to adapt coaching style or retire like Nick. ( I like Vic, but we all have adapt to current times)

True. However, Nick retired when players were given the ability to transfer and make NIL money. Vic can adapt or retire. Vic isn’t completely a innocent party on players transfers.

“If” is an excuse the losing team fans use. UCLA was the better team during the final.

Vic is definitely “old school “ type coach he may need to adapt a little to the current basketball players. As Nick Saban said “adapt or die”

Team is in terrible batting slump!

Team 3 and its not close

Bringing in elite replacements.

@hookem1014thanks for posting.

College sports is business for all parties involved. Med school isn’t cheap.

and 5 highly rated freshmen

Texas just “reloads” NOT “rebuild”

Don’t eat McDonald crap!
