Minnesota went into Texas' Gregory Gym and showed why it's the top-ranked team in the nation, defeating the Longhorns 3-1.
For the second straight week, freshman Stephanie Samedy picked up MVP honors after a match-best 22 kills while hitting .308 against Texas. Texas' prized freshman, Lexi Sun, also went big, recording 19 kills and 13 digs. During the tournament that also saw the Golden Gophers defeat Denver and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Minnesota's 6-foot-2 opposite hitter from Clermont, Florida, had 43 kills and 10 blocks.
Samedy also was MVP of the Diet Coke Classic played the week before in Minneapolis.
