Texas volleyball kept its hot streak alive on Sunday, sweeping rival Texas A&M for the third straight match without dropping a set, according to Yahoo Sports. The dominant run over the Aggies has strengthened the Longhorns' case as one of the top teams in the country heading into the Nov. 2 poll update.

The sweep extends a stretch of commanding performances for Texas, which has not needed a fifth set to put away its recent opponents. Beating a conference rival in straight sets only adds to the team's momentum as the postseason picture starts to take shape.

While the exact numerical ranking shift was detailed in the latest poll release, the headline takeaway is clear: Texas continues to assert itself as a dominant force in college volleyball this season, according to Yahoo Sports.
