  "account": "The Texas volleyball team has had a challenging start to the year, suffering losses against Arizona State, Nebraska, and the departure of star outside hitter Abby Vander Wal due to a season-ending knee injury. With the team dropping from No. 2 to No. 9 in the latest American Volleyball Coaches Association poll, they now aim to regain their momentum with a home opener against No. 15 USC on Wednesday, which features the Longhorns leading the all-time series against the Trojans, 6-5, including a 3-2 edge at Gregory Gym. Texas has triumphed in the last four matchups, including a 3-0 sweep in the 2024 NCAA Tournament's second round at home. Coach Jerritt Elliott, who previously served as USC's interim head coach from 1999-2000, has a history with the Trojans, having led USC to the national semifinals in 2000 and earning Pac-10 coach of the year honors in both seasons, as well as the 1999 AVCA Pacific Region coach of the year award. Live scores and updates for the game will be provided as it unfolds on Wednesday.",
