By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

No. 4 Baylor volleyball’s season came to an end Friday night as the No. 5 Dayton Flyers upset the Bears in five sets at the Ferrell Center.

The Bears (23-8) got a memorable performance from junior opposite hitter Allie Sczech, who continued her hot streak with a career-high 21 kills and a season-high six blocks. But it wasn’t enough to overcome redshirt senior outside hitter Lexie Almodovar, who shouldered Dayton’s offensive load and eclipsed 2,000 career kills in the victory. Her 34 kills were a career-high.

“Just a cool night, great volleyball,” Dayton head coach Tim Horsmon said.
