Baylor failed to avoid a three-match skid after losing to the Texas Longhorns in straight sets (20-25, 18-25, 21-25) Wednesday at Gregory Gymnasium.
The loss moved Baylor to 16-12 and 4-10 in the Big 12 on the season.
The Bears came out with a sense of urgency early and matched the No. 5 team in the country point for point.
But a 7-3 run from Texas gave the Longhorns the lead they needed to cruise to a first set victory.
Senior outside hitter Andie Malloy and sophomore outside hitter Katie Staiger led the Baylor attack in the first set with four and three kills, respectively.
