TCU Suffers Road Loss to No. 1 Baylor

WACO, Texas -- TCU volleyball couldn't keep pace with No. 1 Baylor Saturday afternoon inside the Ferrell Center, falling to the Bears: 25-19, 25-18, 25-14. The win secured a share of the Big 12 championship for Baylor.

"I'm proud of our team for the progress we've made this season. We have not seen the results we've wanted to on the scoreboard, but any coach with a team full of youth understands that growth is a process and takes time, commitment and grit. Our team has come to the gym with energy and enthusiasm day-in and day-out and grown in their knowledge and play daily. We'll keep climbing."

TCU NOTABLES:
  • Sophomore élan McCall led the team with 10 digs, her ninth double-digit dig match of the season and fourth in the last five.
  • McCall led the team with nine kills.
  • Junior Dani Dennison also finished with 10 digs, she has recorded at least 10 digs in seven of her last eight matches and 12 overall this season.
  • Sophomore Katie Clark led the team with three blocks, extending her streak to 10 matches with at least 3.0 rejections.
  • Freshman McKenzie Nichols led the team with 22 assists.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Set 1 (BU, 25-19): Baylor jumped out to a 7-2 lead in front of its home crowd. The Frogs did well, responding with a 4-0 run off of a kill from Manyang and two blocks from Waggle to cut the lead to 10-8. TCU maintained its composure and would get within one point as late as 17-18 but a late Bear run put a crooked number on the board after one.

Set 2 (BU, 25-18): Both teams exchanged blows in the early going with BU holding the lead, 11-9. Manyang, McCall and Waggle offered resistance but the steady attack from Baylor took over and set was won by the home team.

Set 3 (BU, 25-14): Another hot start from Baylor prompted another rebound from TCU. A 4-0 Horned Frog run brought the score to 9-11 but Baylor would go on a run from there, closing out the match. McCall led the team with four kills and block in the set.
