Hosting its first NCAA tournament game in program history, Baylor volleyball refused to let the moment get the best of it.
Led by freshman outside hitter and reigning Big 12 Freshman of the Year Yossiana Pressley’s 17 kills, the Bears took care of Miami, Ohio in three sets 25-19, 25-16, 25-21 Friday night at the Ferrell Center.
Baylor earns a second round matchup with Colorado, who defeated James Madison in the day’s first match in straight sets.
Baylor head coach Ryan McGuyre said Pressley’s versatility, including hitting from the outside and the back was the difference for the Baylor offense.
