OU Sweeps Baylor

The University of Oklahoma volleyball team made quick work of Baylor in a 3-0 road win on Saturday afternoon. The Sooners improved to 16-4 overall and 4-2 in the Big 12, while the Bears dropped to 9-13 and 1-5.

Oklahoma, which has won nine of its last 10 contests against Baylor, picked up its eighth straight-sets victory of the season, by scores of 25-13, 25-13 and 25-19, and first in conference play.

"We played pretty solid," said head coach Santiago Restrepo. "We worked a lot this week on blocking and defending. We did, overall, a very good job of that. I think our serving passing did very well today and that was key."

ORU Tops McNeese

Oral Roberts University's high-octane offense was on display again on Saturday afternoon as the Golden Eagles routed McNeese State, 3-0, at Memorial Gym. ORU hit .336 for the match, their second-straight plus-.300 effort.

Oral Roberts (15-4, 7-2 Southland Conference) dispatched of the Cowgirls by scores of 26-24, 25-18 and 25-20.

Sara Pope was once again ORU's top threat, posting a team-high 15 kills. Jessica Pancratz added 10 kills and Luara Rosa had eight for the Golden Eagles.

Defensively, Bruna Silva's 16 digs set the standard, while Jovana Poljasevic was strong at the net with two solo blocks and seven total.
