Box Score WACO, Texas – UNCG matched up against Big 12 member Baylor in Waco Saturday morning and fell 3-0 (17-25, 19-25, 13-25) to the Bears in the third match of the Baylor Classic at the Ferrell Center. The Spartans fall to 10-4 overall while Baylor improves to 9-2.

Junior outside hitter Alexis Mourier came off of the bench to lead the UNCG offense with eight kills while classmate and outside Jessica Brezwyn followed with seven.

The Bears scored five of the next six points to pull ahead 14-10 as UNCG burned its final timeout of the stanza. The Blue and Gold could only get as close as four points the rest of the set before falling 25-17.

It was a much better beginning for the Spartans in the second set as they were the aggressors and built an 8-5 lead. However, Baylor went on an 8-2 run to pushed it in front 13-10 and prompted a UNCG timeout. An ace by sophomore defensive specialist Anna Romaniszyn drew the Blue and Gold within 18-15 but the Bears put together a string of five consecutive points to put the frame out of reach.

After the intermission, the Spartans could not find a rhythm and fell behind quickly at 7-3. Baylor extended its lead further to 13-5 after a Mourier attacking error before closing the match out with a 25-13 set three victory.
