LAST TIME AGAINST COLORADO
No. 19 Baylor continued its torrid start in Big 12 play with its fifth-straight conference victory in a sweep (25-14, 25-19, 25-15) of Colorado on Saturday, Oct. 3, at the Coors Events Center.
Senior Katie Sanders led the Bears with 12 kills, recording ninth double-double of the season, also posting 13 digs. Ashlie Christenson also recorded double-digit kills with 10 on the night. Anna Breyfogle added eight, and Torri Campbell and Taylor Barnes each had seven. Barnes tallied 41 set assists.
On defense, Baylor had three players in double digits in digs, led by Allison King's 18. The match marked the 14th consecutive match that King has recorded at least 10 digs. Sanders' 13, as well as 11 from Caitlyn Trice rounded out the back row for the Bears.

LAST TIME OUT
No. 20 Baylor fought back from down a set to take down No. 23 Texas A&M 3-2 in a five-set thriller (18-25, 25-13, 27-25, 25-23, 18-16) in College Station, Texas on Saturday night. The win marked the first win over a ranked team on the road since Oct. 20, 1999, when Baylor defeated Kansas State 3-1.
Senior Anna Breyfogle and freshman Torri Campbell each had one of the best nights of their careers. Both racked up 17 kills and nine blocks. Breyfogle hit .472 with zero errors in 36 attempts, while Campbell hit .417 with only two errors in 36 attempts. At the net, both were a force that helped hold the nation's kills leader Texas A&M to a .167 hitting percentage (70-36-203) on the night.
Baylor's back row defense, led by libero Allison King's 28 digs, was equally as spectacular in forcing A&M into hitting errors and zero attacks. Along with King, Katie Sanders and Caitlyn Trice each had 14 digs.
