  *   Baylor has already faced K-State twice in the fall, winning both Big 12 matchups, as well as sweeping Texas State earlier in March in San Marcos.

AGAINST THE WILDCATS

  *   Baylor has won each of its last five meetings with K-State, including a two-match sweep at the Ferrell Center in November.
  *   Under sixth-year head coach Ryan McGuyre<https://baylorbears.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1563>, the Bears are 9-3 against the Wildcats.
