TOP QUOTE
Joey Scrivano on the match…
"Our team was relentless today. It’s been a heck of a road trip with challenges every step of the way but kept working the process and focusing on the task. This team is becoming great at getting knocked down and bouncing back up again. That’s what the mentally disciplined athletes do. Now, we need to recover and get back at it next week. Another tough road trip ahead, and we are excited for the challenge.

No. 26 Baylor stays on the road with matches at Oklahoma and Oklahoma State next weekend.
