No. 1 Baylor volleyball moves on to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history after a four-set win (25-12, 23-25, 25-15, 25-17) Friday at the Ferrell Center against No. 16 Purdue.
Redshirt sophomore opposite hitter Marieke van der Mark continued her elite tournament run with a career-high 16 kills in the win. This was her third match in a row leading the team in kills after never leading a match before in her time at Baylor. Purdue head coach Dave Shondell said after the match that teams are going to need to start game-planning for her.
