What a gritty performance. Shutting down Pressley in the 3rd set was awesome. Momentum is a strange creature. Glad it swung our way when it mattered. Hook 'em!

47,

Were you able to watch it? I used the play by play online, but had no idea what happened to Baylor in the third set.

Sadly, I was unable to watch the 5th set, but certainly enjoyed sets 2 and 3 where we seemed to wake up and play with more energy. Hopefully someone who did see the 5th set can fill us in. Inquiring minds want to know...

It was on LHN. I don't know why anyone who has LHN wouldn't be able to watch. The 5th set was a bit like the ending of the 4th set. Texas doing a much better job of attacking vs the first 2 sets and Baylor was all of the sudden giving more free balls.

I kept saying the 1st 2 sets every time Texas gives Baylor a free ball it comes back in their face. They finally got the message in the 3rd set and started to pass and set better eliminating all the free balls. Of course the serving was better too. You can't beat a top 10 team by giving them 5 SE's a set.

We were able to catch the game last night. What a thriller! I was so happy to see these ladies rally back against a good team.
