In front of their own crowd, Texas finished third overall, beat the Dallas Flash and banked 15 standings points.
The building was full, the noise never let up, and the Ranchers gave the home crowd exactly the weekend it came for.
Texas finished third overall in Austin — the club’s first podium of the season — and did it with the result the barn wanted most: a win over the Dallas Flash, avenging the loss that had ended the season opener a few weeks earlier.
Fifteen standings points moved the Ranchers up the table and established the pattern that would define their 2026: this is a team that plays its best pickleball when the stakes and the volume are highest.
MLP returning to its roots in Austin is always circled on the calendar. This one earned the circle.
