Baylor Volleyball Hosts West Virginia for Saturday Match

Posted

Baylor volleyball (19-8, 7-4) is set to face the West Virginia Mountaineers (12-14, 3-9) on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. in the Ferrell Center.

Baylor will look to secure its 20th win of the season, a first for the program since the 2012 season. A win over WVU would also be its eighth Big 12 win of the year, the first time BU has eclipsed the seven-win mark in conference play since 2012.

With a 16-game conference schedule, a win over the Mountaineers would additionally guarantee a .500 or better finish in conference play, the first time the program has achieved that feat since the Sweet 16 team in 2009.

Continuing through the back-half of the double-round robin conference schedule, the two sides are set to face off for the second time this season, with Baylor taking a four-set win in Morgantown on Oct. 15.

BU holds the advantage in the all-time series, leading 9-3 overall and 3-2 in Waco.
