LUBBOCK, Texas – No. 17 Baylor volleyball swept Texas Tech on Wednesday night at United Supermarkets Arena, 3-0, for BU’s sixth win in a row.

The Bears (16-6, 8-3) took the Red Raiders in three (12-12, 4-8), BU winning set one at 25-17, set two, 25-18, and ended a close third set for the win, 28-26.

BU improved to 110-47 in Big 12 matches under head coach Ryan McGuyre and has raked in 236 Big 12 wins overall since 1996.

Leading for the Bears were Elise McGhee with 15 kills, Lauren Briseño with 14 digs, Victoria Davis with nine blocks, and Jackie Barrett Frazier with 31 assists and two aces.

THE RUNDOWN
Set 1
The Bears got the first point from Elise McGhee but started trading with the Red Raiders not long after. Kendal Murphy and Victoria Davis got in on the scoring, and McGhee had a block with Manuela Bibinbe, but the team stayed step for step up to 9-9. Tech got up by two before it served an error but got a kill just after to go up 12-10 again. BU got its next kill from Bibinbe, then another service error from the Red Raiders, the Bears staying within one. Murphy took advantage of an overpass for a kill, but TTU was up 15-13 at the media timeout. Out of it, Tech had two errors to even the score once more. The Bears’ next block came from Davis and Allie Sczech, followed by another Davis kill, BU back ahead by one at 17-16. Baylor roofed the next ball, the block from Murphy and Davis. Murphy got hot, getting two kills to give the Bears their 20th point. Davis and Barrett Frazier blocked the next ball which prompted a TTU timeout. The run continued from BU with two kills from McGhee before she and Davis teamed up for the block to end the set, 25-17, on a 7-0 run.

Set 2
BU came out firing once again, going up 3-0 early with a kill from McGhee and a block from Barrett Frazier along with Alicia Andrew. Barrett Frazier then got two kills back-to-back, but the four-point run was stopped with a TTU kill. Andrew got a kill at 5-3, then Sczech joined the stat sheet with a kill. McGhee served her first ace of the night to start a run with the score 7-4, but it ended after a TTU timeout at 9-4 when Tech got a kill. Murphy stopped their progress with a kill of her own, only for their Mia Wesley to get the next two kills. Sczech got the kill at 11-7, but the Red Raiders were hot and got another kill. BU was trying to keep TTU from inching closer, but Tech went on a three-point scoring run and called timeout at 12-11. Out of it, McGhee broke through the block for a kill and though a service error interrupted on the next play, she got the next two kills for the Bears to be up 15-12. Barrett Frazier served an ace to have TTU call timeout, 17-12, with Baylor on a 4-0 run. Out of it she served another ace, the 10th time a Baylor player has served consecutive aces this season. Sczech followed it up with a kill to make it a 6-0 run but was stopped by a Tech kill, 19-13. McGhee and Andrew got the block, Murphy and Sczech got kills, then Davis to make it 23-16. An error from TTU made it set point, and a kill from McGhee ended it, 25-18.

Set 3
Starting right where they left off, the Bears’ McGhee got the first kill of the set, her 11th thus far, and quickly followed it up with another to lead 3-1 early in the third frame. However, Texas Tech went on a 4-0 run with BU challenging the next point and getting it back, down 5-4. Murphy and Sczech got the next three kills, down 8-7, and Davis made it 9-8 to stay within one. TTU then went up 12-9 and the Bears battled back thanks to errors and kills from Sczech and McGhee to 13-12. BU made sure to keep within arm’s reach, down two going into the media timeout, 15-13, and Murphy got the kill out of it. Barrett Frazier and Davis had the next point with a block to tie it up but kills from TTU put the Red Raiders up by two again, 17-15. Murphy continued to put in the work and got a kill, but with another from Tech and a block against the Bears, coach McGuyre called timeout, now down 19-16. Davis brought the boom and got her team a kill, then McGhee and Andrew blocked a TTU ball, 20-19. Murphy tied it at 21-all with her 11th kill, but a service error put the Bears behind by one again. Tech went up 23-21, and McGuyre called timeout once more. A fire had obviously been lit under BU and on the next play, Sczech and McGhee were shooting their shots, McGhee getting the kill for her 15th. A blocking error put TTU at set point, but battling back, Sczech got a tip block to come within one. Davis and Barrett Frazier tied it up, and Tech called time, 24-all. An error on BU made it feel dicey, but another Barrett Frazier-Davis block quieted the crowd at 25-all, and they did it again to go up by one, the Red Raiders calling timeout again. Tech tied it, but Davis and McGhee got the block to even it again. TTU had a bad set which ended the match in BU’s favor, 28-26.
