'We just get so hyped for her': Rella Binney, Texas volleyball find their rhythm vs USC
The Texas Longhorns switched their strategy after losing Abby Vander Wal to a season-ending knee injury. It started to pay off in Wednesday's sweep over USC.
Texas volleyball fans had a rough weekend in Las Vegas, but the Longhorns stayed calm and focused. Head coach Jerritt Elliott made a change after starting outside hitter Abby Vander Wal suffered a knee injury. Setter Rella Binney, a 5-10 junior from Hawaii, earned the starting spot after her two seasons on the bench. Binney showed her skills in the Texas Longhorns' 3-0 victory over No. 15 USC in a home opener at Gregory Gymnasium.
She recorded 31 assists, a kill on an overpass, and helped the team hit above .300 for the first time this season. Binney's improvement and the team's rhythm in their new 5-1 rotation have the fans excited about Texas' future.
