THE RUNDOWN

MANHATTAN, Kansas - The Bears (11-3, 0-1 Big 12) had a five-game winning streak snapped by the Kansas State Wildcats (9-5, 1-1 Big 12), dropping a three-set match in front of a packed house at the Ahearn Field House.

KSU took early leads in all three sets, controlling the match with a steady attack and staunch defense.

The Bears were led by another stellar performance from reigning Big 12 Rookie of the Week, Shelly Fanning. Fanning tied for the match-high with 13 kills on 22 attacks, good for a .545 hitting effort.
