Monday Night Volleyball: Texas Tech vs. Baylor

LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech volleyball aims to return to form in its final push for the postseason as it hosts Baylor (17-7, 9-4) Monday at 6 p.m. inside United Supermarkets Arena.

The match will air on FOX Sports Southwest Plus with Geoff Haxton (Play-by-play) and Michael Moffitt (color) on the call and Taylor Peters reporting from the sideline. Live stats will be available through www.TexasTech.com, while live updates will be posted to @TexasTechVB on Twitter.

The Red Raiders (16-10, 5-7) will be sporting gold shoelaces on Monday as part of the Lace Up for Pediatric Cancer initiative, which supports Texas children battling cancer and their families. Additionally, fans who present their ticket stubs from Sunday's Lady Raider basketball game will receive discounted $1 tickets.

With four regular-season matches remaining, the Red Raiders (16-10, 5-7) are looking to get back following Wednesday's loss to Oklahoma in which they held a 2-1 lead before falling in five sets. Tech enters the week sixth in the Big 12 standings with critical matchups this week against the second-place Lady Bears and eighth-place Kansas State.

The two teams met earlier this season in Waco for their Big 12 opener. Tech shocked the Lady Bears with a 3-1 (13-25, 25-11, 25-21, 25-18) victory for its first Big 12 ranked road win since 2004.

The win extended Tech's lead in the all-time series to 50-33. Monday will be the 84^th all-time meeting with the Red Raiders looking to capture their first season sweep of the Lady Bears since 2004.

Baylor has been hot as of late and carries a five-match winning streak into Lubbock after a sweep at Kansas State on Saturday. The Lady Bears face a quick turnaround as Monday will be their second match in three days, their third in five days as well as their third road match in the last nine days.
