No. 17 Baylor volleyball survived Houston’s upset attempt Saturday in the Ferrell Center, taking down the Cougars 25-19, 18-25, 25-16, 21-25, 15-10. On Senior Day in Waco, outside hitter Elise McGhee celebrated the occasion with a 22-kill double-double.
“This senior class is really spectacular, being joyful and having a heart of gratefulness. Collectively, all seven of them are good in guiding the junior, sophomore, freshmen along the way through their valleys. They set a good example in servant leadership,” head coach Ryan McGuyre said.
For Baylor (20-7, 11-5), it was the ninth consecutive win against Houston (11-14, 6-9), who have lost every match up against the Bears since 2003.
