No. 1 Bears suffer first loss to Longhorns

By Matthew Soderberg | Sports Writer

No. 1 Baylor volleyball dropped its first match of the season to No. 4 Texas by way of a sweep (25-19, 25-10, 25-19) in Austin. The Bears have now dropped 35 straight matches to the Longhorns.

UT came prepared for Wednesday’s matchup, outplaying the Bears in every facet of the game. The Longhorns had more kills (34-32), service aces (9-1), blocks (12-4) and three times fewer errors (8-24). Junior outside hitter Yossiana Pressley said the lackluster play led to too many errors.

“They put up a good block, so we were trying to hit over them, and it just didn’t work out that way.
