Texas (27-1), in its 14th semifinal appearance, is going to the championship match for the ninth time in program history. The Longhorns will go for their fourth national championship on Saturday.
Texas trailed 4-0 to start the fourth set but rallied with four unanswered points for an 8-7 lead. Eggleston, who struggled with four attacking errors in the first set, turned it around and had the game-winning kill to send Texas to the championship match.
"I thought we did an great job from the service line after Game 1," Texas coach Jerritt Elliott said. "And then we really started to get a lot of touches and controlling the ball, getting good transition swings. We weren’t great at transition for a lot of points with Logan, but we started to figure it out and I’m glad she ended the match with that last swing."
The first three-point lead for either team came in the second set with Texas leading 16-13. The Longhorns used a 4-0 run for a 21-14 lead in the second set and closed on another 4-0 run.
