Baylor ties its school record with 11-0 start to the season
THE RUNDOWN
LAWRENCE, Kan. – No. 2 Baylor volleyball (11-0) opened Big 12 action with a sweep of Kansas (4-7) on Saturday at the Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena in Lawrence, Kan., 25-15, 25-13, 25-22.
BU ties its best start in school history and consecutive wins at 11-0, matching the 2009 team. Baylor remains the only undefeated team in the country and improved to 3-2 in conference openers under head coach Ryan McGuyre.
Junior Yossiana Pressley posted a match-high 17 kills on a .483 efficiency while senior Gia Milana was 9-of-12 for a .667 clip on the outside. Junior Hannah Lockin recorded her fifth double-double of the season with 35 assists and 12 digs and also put down three kills on four attempts.
Defensively, the Bears posted 11 blocks for their second double-digit block effort in 2019. Freshman Kara McGhee posted a match-high six blocks while sophomore Marieke van der Mark added five.
Baylor came out quick and used consecutive kills from Milana and senior Shelly Stafford for the 10-3 lead. The Bears' fourth block of the season forced a KU timeout at 17-8, and a Stafford service ace gave BU the 25-15 set win.
Baylor followed that up with an emphatic 8-0 lead in set two behind sophomore Shanel Bramschreiber's serve. Pressley put down seven kills on a .500 clip to help BU jump to a 2-0 lead, 25-13.
The Bears fell behind early in set three, 6-2, after a KU block. BU followed it up with a 7-1 run to take the 9-7 lead after a Tara Wulf service ace. Pressley recorded three kills in the final four points as the Bears swept the match, 25-22.

TOP QUOTE
Head coach Ryan McGuyre
On the win…
"Any road sweep in conference is a good start. I thought we were hitting well even though we weren't quite in rhythm. We did a good job managing our swings. Our blocks came up big for us when we needed. I was really impressed with Gia (Milana). We probably didn't set her enough. When we got her the ball, she made some big plays and had big swings for us. Hannah Lockin continues to do a good job. She got good timely kills and moved the ball around. We're looking forward to next week."
WHAT'S NEXT
BU (11-0) will returns to Waco to host Oklahoma in its Big 12 home opener next Wednesday at 7 p.m. CT at the Ferrell Center.
Wednesday's match will be live on Big 12 Now on ESPN+, and fans can purchase tickets online at www.BaylorBears.com.
