NORMAN, Okla. - The University of Oklahoma volleyball team returns to action Wednesday evening facing third-ranked Texas in a 6:30 p.m. CT contest from Gregory Gym in Austin. The Sooners (8-12, 4-8 Big 12) look to end October on a high note, while the Longhorns (16-2, 9-1Big 12) seek their 11th straight win.

Freshman setter Brianne Barker recorded her 10th double-double of the season with 24 assists and 10 digs on Saturday evening as OU fell to second-ranked Nebraska, 3-0. Barker added three kills and hit a team-high .375 clip. Sophomore Sarah Freudenrich was the Sooners' top scorer with eight kills. Freshman Caitlin Higgins added 10 digs and freshman Danielle Alva had a season-high eight digs. Freshman Suzy Boulavsky and redshirt sophomore Francie Ekwerekwu each had four block assists for the Sooners.

The Longhorns enter the match following a 13-kill performance by Destinee Hooker to knock off BYU, Wednesday night in non-conference action. The victory extended UT's home winning streak to 23 matches. Texas' lone conference loss was to second-ranked Nebraska on Sept. 20.

Oklahoma returns home Sunday afternoon to take on Baylor in a 2 p.m. CT contest from McCasland Field House. Fans are reminded to set their clocks back one hour Saturday evening.
