WACO, Texas – The University of Oklahoma volleyball team lost at Baylor for the first time since 2008 with a 3-1 decision at the Ferrell Center on Saturday afternoon. The loss dropped the Sooners to 12-9 overall, 3-5 in the Big 12 and snapped an eight-match win streak over the Bears, who improved to 18-6 and 6-2.
Oklahoma won set one by a score of 25-22. Baylor was all over OU in the second to even the match on a 25-11 win. Oklahoma's 11 points was the least in a set that was not the fifth since scoring just 10 points against No. 8 Texas in 2012. The Sooners then held late leads in both the third and fourth sets before the Bears claimed victory by scores of 28-26 and 27-25.
Baylor's Katie Staiger led all players with 19 kills as she was one of four Bears in double figures. Camryn Freiberg added 14 on a match-leading .480 attack rate to go with five blocks.
Sophomore outside hitter Alyssa Enneking (League City, Texas) tallied a team-high 13 kills for Oklahoma, but hit just .057 and fell one dig shy of a double-double. Senior middle blocker Micaela Spann (Carrollton, Texas) netted 11 kills and hit .375. Senior outside hitter Kimmy Gardiner (Grapevine, Texas) returned from a broken pinky injury on her right hand. She came off the bench and began to get swings late in the match as she totaled eight kills, hit .389 and picked up a team-leading 17 digs.
Bears setter Morgan Reed dished out 55 assists and added nine digs. Libero Jana Brusek led all players with 22 digs. For the Sooners, sophomore outside hitter Audrey Alford (Norman, Okla.) managed 47 assists and 11 digs for her fifth double-double of the season. Redshirt-sophomore libero Rachel Manriquez (Edmond, Okla.) was second on the team with 16 digs and junior defensive specialist Emma Kelly (Houston, Texas) reached double digits at 11.
Oklahoma returns to action on Wednesday, October 26 at Texas in a 7 p.m. match-up.
