Baylor volleyball saw its 2016 season come a close on Saturday, as the Bears fell in three sets to the UCLA Bruins in the second round of the NCAA tournament, 25-21, 25-20, 25-20.
“So proud of this team this year. The number of wins, the battles, the five set victories we’ve had. From Morgan [Reed]’s maturity to Jana [Brusek]’s consistency, just the growth we’ve had. It’s a special team for me, just because I’ve learned,” said head coach Ryan McGuyre. “They’ve inspired me and I’ve caught myself being discouraged at times, and when you see their resiliency and you see them getting back in the gym going hard, it makes me make sure we’re giving them our best as a staff.
