LOS ANGELES - Baylor volleyball (21-11) opens up its play in the 2016 NCAA Volleyball Championship, facing the No. 14 San Diego Toreros (24-5) on Friday, Dec. 2, at 5:30 p.m. PT/7:30 p.m. CT in Pauley Pavilion on the host, No. 8 UCLA campus.
Baylor is making its first postseason appearance since 2011, ending a five-year NCAA tournament drought in head coach Ryan McGuyre's second season with the team.
