No. 16 Baylor volleyball came home to a warm welcome following its daunting trip to Minneapolis for the Big Ten/Big 12 Challenge. The Bears took down No. 18 Rice University 3-1 in front of 1,613 fans Friday night in the Ferrell Center — the team’s first win of the season.

Redshirt sophomore middle blocker Alicia Andrew said she had to pause and try to wrap her head around the strong atmosphere.

“I stepped out on the court and I took a second and did a full turn around, and I was looking at everyone,” Andrew said.
