<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; background-color: white;"><b>WACO, Texas –
</b>No. 23 Baylor volleyball returns to the Ferrell Center for the final time this season, hosting Texas Tech on Thursday night at 7 p.m. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; background-color: white;">The Bears (15-9, 10-6 Big 12) will honor Manuela Bibinbe, Gabbi Essix, Anastasiia Nikolnikova, Bri Denney and Brielle Warren as part of a senior day celebration
immediately following the match.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; background-color: white;">Set to play her final match at the Ferrell Center, Bibinbe is thankful for her time in the Green and Gold, and while it may be her final game at home, she
and her teammates are taking things as they come with, what they hope, are still many more matches ahead of them.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; background-color: white;">“It’s a little bittersweet,” she said. “Baylor has given us everything outside of the court, from the fans to the people that support this program. We don’t
know what the Lord has ahead of us, and when we talk about the future we say, Lord, you lead, we follow. At the end of the day, we have all these relationships, but he is the one leading the path, so let your will be done.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; background-color: white;">Thursday marks the penultimate match of the regular season as Baylor looks to secure its fourth win in the last five outings. The Bears enter the matchup
fresh off a thrilling 3-1 road victory at Houston, highlighted by a historic 35-33 fourth set, Baylor’s highest-scoring frame in more than two decades.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; background-color: white;">The Bears aim to continue some strong trends at home this season, winning 10 of its 11 matches at Ferrell, while securing all 11 opening sets, entering Thursday
night. BU is hoping to start fast and build on its 14-2 mark this season when capturing the first set. Inside the friendly confines, BU is out-hitting its opponent by .076 percentage points, serving up 1.63 aces per set as compared to opponents notching just
0.91. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; background-color: white;">The Bears have also gotten the best of the Red Raiders in the series’ recent history. After Texas Tech won 38 of the first 42 meetings, Baylor has claimed
36 of the last 40, including seven straight. Under head coach Ryan McGuyre, the Bears have been consistently strong against in-state competition, boasting a 69–35 record vs. Texas opponents, including a 38–9 mark against current Big 12 programs from the Lone
Star State. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; background-color: white;">Statistically, Baylor continues to be fueled by its standout freshman class, including Ksenia Rakhmanchik, this week’s back-to-back Big 12 Rookie of the
Week honoree, and by a front line anchored by a couple of seniors in Essix and Bibinbe, who combine for more than 1.5 blocks per set. </span></p>
