WACO, Texas – No. 17 Baylor volleyball hosts Iowa State for a midweek matchup on Wednesday with first serve set for 7 p.m. at the Ferrell Center.

It will be “Space Night,” with a light saber giveaway for fans while supplies last.

The Bears (13-6, 5-3) and Cyclones (9-10, 3-5) will meet for the first and only time this season on Wednesday.

BU is 107-47 in Big 12 matches under head coach Ryan McGuyre and have raked in 233 Big 12 wins overall since 1996.

Leading the way for the Bears through 19 matches are senior outside hitter Elise McGhee (235 kills, 30 aces), senior libero Lauren Briseño (282 digs), graduate transfer setter Jackie Barrett Frazier (541 assists) and senior middle blocker Manuela Bibinbe (54 blocks).

McGhee had an All-American performance in the five-set upset of No. 18 TCU Friday, producing a career-high 30 kills and six aces. She had the 60th ace of her career in the match and served three-consecutive during the first set. The senior also led the team against Houston on Oct. 23, BU winning in four sets.

Briseño is just three aces away from the 80th of her career, which would tie the fifth-most career aces in the rally-scoring era at Baylor. Against the Horned Frogs, she entered the top-10 for career digs at BU, currently registering 1,219 over her four-year career.

Iowa State comes to Waco after falling in four to No. 9 Kansas on the road on Oct. 23 and in five to Kansas State at home on Sunday.

The match will be streamed on ESPN+ at 7 p.m. CT, with Pete Souza and Baylor volleyball alumna Camryn Freiberg 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.

Fans interested in purchasing tickets for home matches can visit BaylorBears.com/Tickets. All seats are general admission at the Ferrell Center, with the student section behind the team benches and on the end lines. Seats are first-come, first-served and doors open 60 minutes before match time.
