It came down to the very last point for No. 23 Baylor Volleyball in its five set, 3-2, win over No. 18 Minnesota after taking the second, 25-16, third, 25-21, and fifth sets, 16-14, in the first game of the Big Ten/Big 12 challenge Friday night at the Ferrell Center.
The Golden Gophers (2-1), fresh off a win against No. 1 Texas, did not make it easy for the Bears (5-0), attacking early and often to jump out to an early lead. After starting the first set 10-5, Baylor came out of their first timeout with a 5-1 streak, but narrowly dropped the first set by two points, 25-23.
