kill was sandwiched by two from the Wildcats, but followed by one from Lauren Harrison and then Elise McGhee. The score was 7-3 thanks to another McGhee kill before Mallory Talbert served up three aces in a row. After the second ace, KSU called time, but it
didn’t ice the grad transfer. The score 10-3, Kara McGhee and then Elise McGhee each had kills to push the Wildcats to call time again. KSU got a kill coming out of the pause, then three more points off BU attack errors, but a kill by Carlson finished their
four-point run, the score now 13-7. Elise McGhee, then Sczech, then McGhee made it a four-point run for BU. Elise made it 17-11 with another kill, then Kara McGhee had a solo block after a service error. K-State challenged an attack error at 19-13 but it went
unsuccessful, Talbert following it with a kill. The Wildcats went on a five-point run to bring the Bears to call timeout, the score 22-19. Elise McGhee got back-to-back kills and despite set point being put off a point by a KSU kill, it was McGhee who finished
the set with a kill, 25-20. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

kill and a Briseño ace, with Baylor calling time down 7-4. Harrison got the kill out of it, but Elena Baka got the next kill followed by an ace, K-State now up 9-5. The Bears tied it up at 10-10 thanks to a kill from Talbert and attack errors, but then tied
it up again with an Elise McGhee kill at 11-11. BU got their first lead of the set off another Elise kill, and three-straight KSU errors had them call timeout, now 15-11. Two more errors and a BU error preceded a Wildcat kill, but Harrison finished it at 17-14.
KSU tied it up again at 17-17. The teams went back and forth the rest of the set with Harrison kills littering throughout, but a Talbert kill up 22-20, an Elise McGhee kill, then a block by the McGhee sisters had the Bears at set point, KSU calling time. Elise
McGhee finished the set with a kill, 25-20. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

served up her first ace of the day. Kara McGhee got another kill, then a Sczech kill, and KSU called time. Service errors from both sides gave it back to BU where Harrison got a kill, 17-10. A few more points went K-State’s way, now 20-16. Kara McGhee had
a kill, then she and Sczech got the block. Harrison had a kill, then had another to bring set point. The match ended with an attack error on the Wildcats, 25-20.
