In a match eerily reminiscent of Wednesday’s victory over Arizona, the No. 19 Bears took down the No. 14 Sun Devils 25-21, 25-22, 17-25, 25-17. Five different Baylor players had eight or more kills, and the rowdy Ferrell Center crowd spooked Arizona State (12-2, 1-1) into committing 25 errors, with the help of a fan gold-out and a healthy swarm of interfering crickets.

No. 18 Baylor volleyball returned to form in the final matchup of the Baylor Invitational, sweeping Samford in three sets, 25-13, 25-19, 25-12, Sunday afternoon at the Ferrell Center. After a difficult week that included being swept by SMU and a less-than-perfect win over LSU, huge offensive performances from junior opposite hitter Allie Sczech and senior outside hitter Elise McGhee propelled the Bears to their seventh win of the season.

Eyeing a bounce back after being swept on Tuesday, No. 18 Baylor volleyball opened the 13th annual Baylor Invitational by taking down LSU in a four-set thriller — 25-16, 23-25, 25-21, 30-28 — on Thursday night at the Ferrell Center.

From the turf to the court, Baylor Athletics is back in the swing of things with three season openers placed firmly in the rearview mirror. With all eyes on Baylor football’s 45-3 win over Tarleton State at McLane Stadium, here is everything else you may have missed.
