No. 22 Baylor volleyball was selected to its 10th straight NCAA Tournament appearance, all under head coach Ryan McGuyre. The Bears are set to take on Arkansas State as the No. 6 seed in the lower-left quadrant of the bracket.

Baylor lost in four sets to the Wildcats. The Bears have not won on the road since Sept. 24, when they took down Texas Tech 3-1.

Freshman outside hitter Ksenia Rakhmanchik added to her historic freshman campaign Sunday, setting the Baylor record for most service aces in a three-set match in No. 23 Baylor volleyball’s second sweep of the weekend.

After learning from two ranked losses, No. 21 Baylor volleyball will look to get ahead of No. 2 Texas early in Friday’s match and compete with a lead to earn its first ranked win.

In their first of eight ranked matchups, the No. 20-ranked Bears stuck with No. 10 SMU through five back-and forth sets, falling 24-26, 28-26, 25-22, 21-25, 13-15 for their first defeat of the 2025 season.

No. 20 Baylor volleyball has rebuilt its roster with three transfers and four freshmen to follow new veteran leaders after losing major contributors from last season.
