Does lightning strike the same place twice? Baylor athletics is on a mission to make sure that it does.
Going from an overlooked extra in the Big 12 to a front-runner in multiple sports, the Bears are not settling for the past but are hungry for more.

Quincy Acy will have a lot to prove north of the border.
Standing 6-feet 7-inches, he is already an undersized power forward and has some good ball players to beat out for a roster spot.
In the Las Vegas Summer League, Acy played just two games and averaged 6 points and 5 rebounds.

For the last two seasons, the Baylor volleyball team has made it to the NCAA tournament.
The incoming freshman class is ranked as the No. 16 recruiting class nationally.
Like most Baylor sports, volleyball is on the rise.

Senior forward Dana Larsen is the true embodiment of the word “student-athlete.” She is a talent to be envied on and off the field, and her teammates look up to her for it.
The team’s leading scorer is poised for another successful year on and off the field.
“Most people don’t know all of her accomplishments, but she is a brainiac as well as a soccer stud,” junior midfielder Alex Klein said.
Larsen is a biochemistry major who has been named to multiple all-academic teams and is on the Dean’s list.
“School has always been super important to me from high school all the way up. To me, being a student-athlete is a privilege. You’ve got to do the schoolwork to get it done,” Larsen said.
