No. 17 Baylor volleyball moved on in the 2022 NCAA Division I Volleyball Championship Second Round after its five set success over No. 20 Rice University Friday night in the Ferrell Center. The Bears went 25-16, 22-25, 25-23, 14-25, 15-11 on their way to advancing to the regional round.

“It’s really hard to end a team’s season, especially a really good one,” head coach Ryan McGuyre said. “They didn’t give us anything, we really had to go and earn it.”

Senior outside hitter Lauren Harrison led the way for the Bears (24-6) with 19 kills to go along with 10 digs.
