evening at the Ferrell Center, 25-19, 25-19, 25-12.<br>
<br>
For the third-consecutive match, three Bears reached double-figures in kills, as Yossiana Pressley led the team with 14 on a .448 clip, Lauren Harrison added 12 and Marieke van der Mark went for 11.<br>
<br>
The Bears got out to a hot start, as a kill by Harrison gave BU an 8-4 advantage in the first set. She found the floor again later in the set, recording kills in three out of four consecutive points, giving the Bears a 19-12 lead. A trio of kills between van
der Mark and Pressley capped things off and gave the Bears the opening set victory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">In set two, Pressley notched a kill to put Baylor ahead 4-1, before TCU rallied back and kept things interesting. The Bears would pull away late
as the reigning National Player of the Year found her rhythm, going for eight kills on 14 swings without an error.<br>
<br>
Baylor took control in set three, jumping out to an early 5-2 lead behind a Pressley service ace. At 13-7, Shanel Bramschreiber began an eight-point service run and the Bears’ lead swelled to 21-7. Two more late kills from Harrison put the stamp on the match
and gave BU its second victory of the season.<br>
<br>
BU was helped by a strong back row all night, going for 33 digs including Bramschreiber’s 13. Campbell Bowden saw her first action of the season and contributed nicely in the passing game.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><br>

<em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;background:white">On the win…</span></em><br>
<span style="background:white">"I thought we got a little bit better as the match went on today. I really thought Shanel [Bramschreiber] did a great job for us, just with the digs and her leadership. She really took some ownership on the libero position and
she solidified that in her actions and how she played. Campbell Bowden passed great, she passed really perfect for us. We’ve got a lot of things to work on, but we kept our errors down and that’s been a point of focus.”<br>

<span style="background:white">"With Shanel [Bramschreiber] digging well and Campbell [Bowden] passing well, it just helps Callie [Williams] out in making smart decisions. I feel like everybody helped us do well and it’s just a team effort that definitely went
