By DJ Ramirez | Sports Editor

No. 1-seeded Baylor volleyball continues to make history, advancing to the Elite Eight for the first time. After a four-set win over Purdue, the Bears will battle against a gritty eighth-seeded Washington for a ticket to Pittsburg, Pa. and the Final Four.

“We’ve just set our minds on Pittsburg, and we have two great opponents out there that want the same thing,” Baylor head coach Ryan McGuyre said before the Huskies faced No. 9 Kentucky.

The Bears dropped only their twelfth set of the 2019 season to the Boilermakers but were able to grab the final two thanks to strong serving and clean play.
