WACO – The North Texas volleyball team fell to the No. 6 Baylor Bears 0-3 (16-25, 17-25, 13-25) at the Ferrell Center on Friday night.
The Mean Green were outgunned by a Baylor squad that advanced the 2019 Final Four and went 13-3 in Big 12 play during the fall portion of the 2020-21 season. The Bears limited North Texas to 22 kills, 21 assists and 38 digs.
"Baylor is a really talented team," head coach Andrew Palileo said. "They've got great size to go along with an ability to elevate off the ground. They overwhelmed us in several areas tonight, but you can only get better if you play the best. We just have to regroup and get ready for conference play again on Sunday."
UNT (4-6, 1-3 C-USA) was successful on the defensive front again with nine total blocks. Rhett Robinson tied a season-high with six blocks, while Sarah Haeussler recorded four total blocks.
Robinson led North Texas with eight kills on 28 attacks, and Aleeyah Galdeira finished the night with a team-high 11 digs. Galdeira now just needs seven digs to reach 500 career digs in only her second year with the Mean Green.
Up Next: North Texas will return to Denton on Sunday for a 1 p.m. showdown with C-USA foe UTEP (4-3, 3-1).
