LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech Red Raiders (14-8, 3-6 Big 12) host the No. 11 Baylor Bears this Wednesday, November 2 at 6 p.m. in the United Supermarkets Arena.
Texas Tech is coming off a tough loss to No. 2 Texas but are looking to bounce back this week against the Bears. The Red Raiders currently have 1,071 kills (13.1 k/s), 988 assists, 99 aces, 1,203 digs and 196.0 blocks.
Kenna Sauer leads the Red Raiders in both points and kills with 345.5 and 313, respectively. Her 313 slams also rank first in the Big 12, while she sits at second with 3.91 kills per set. Junior Reese Rhodes leads the team with 729 assists and ranks third in conference with 10.57 assists per set.
