MANHATTAN, Kan. – The Baylor volleyball team traveled to the Sunflower State and will face Kansas State on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. at Morgan Family Arena.

The Bears (17-6, 9-3) face the Wildcats (9-12, 7-5) for the first and only time this season on Wednesday. KSU leads the all-time series in the Little Apple and overall, but BU head coach Ryan McGuyre is 15-4 against Kansas State.

Baylor enters Morgan Family Arena for the first time on a seven-match winning streak, the last three being sweeps. Last time out, the Bears swept UCF at home. In that match, Elise McGhee had her 1,000th career kill and Lauren Briseño became outright fifth on the BU career rally-scoring service aces list with 81.

Last season, the Bears and Wildcats split the series, both happening in Waco. BU fell to KSU on the first night in five sets but redeemed itself on night two with a 3-1 victory.

Leading the way for the Bears through 23 matches are senior outside hitter McGhee (304 kills, 36 aces), senior libero Briseño (337 digs), graduate transfer setter Jackie Barrett Frazier (657 assists) and senior middle blocker Alicia Andrew (65 blocks).

BU is 111-47 in Big 12 matches under head coach Ryan McGuyre and has raked in 237 Big 12 wins overall since 1996.

Saturday’s match will be streamed on ESPN+ at 6:30 p.m. CT with Brian Smoller and Liz Wegner-Busch on the call. Live stats will be available at BaylorStats.com, with a full recap and final box score uploaded to BaylorBears.com after the conclusion of the match.
