Yesterday at 12:23 AM
It has been a long time coming for Rori Harmon and the Texas Longhorns, especially after making the 2025 NCAA Final Four.
The Longhorns beat the TCU Horned Frogs 58-47 in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Women’s Tournament. With the win, they reached the Final Four for the first time since 2003.
It was special for Harmon, who suffered a torn ACL in December 2023 as she missed the remainder of last season. She returned this year and played a major role in helping the Longhorns advance.
Harmon reflected on the team’s win after the game. With all she went through, she was proud to have been successful in her recovery and be able to help her squad.
“I just think about going through, you know, my recovery and coming back after 10 months. I just look at it. And like I said, I’m so proud of myself and I’m so proud of my team, to get to this moment. I’m not saying I never would have thought, but just to come back like I did, and get to a Final Four like we did, it just means a lot to me,” Harmon said.
