No. 17 Baylor volleyball fell to No. 12 Kansas, 25-22, 26-24, 25-17, on Saturday at the Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena in Lawrence. The heavy-hitting Jayhawks were too much for Baylor to overcome, as they snapped the Bears’ eight-game winning streak.
Leading the Big 12 in points, kills, assists, blocks, digs and hitting percentage, Kansas (22-3, 13-2) stayed undefeated at home in conference play. Three different Jayhawks recorded double-digit kills, and senior setter Camryn Turner kept the offense in rhythm with 40 assists.
Baylor (18-7, 10-4) started the match with consistent, efficient attacks, taking an early 8-4 lead behind kills from senior outside hitter Elise McGhee and a block from redshirt junior middle blocker Alicia Andrew.
