Final Stats

WACO, Texas - Tisha Schwartz led three Bears to double figures in kills here Friday night as Baylor volleyball snapped a six-match losing streak with a 26-30, 30-19, 30-17, 30-12 victory over Texas-San Antonio. Baylor moves to 9-14 on the season, winning their final non-Big 12 Conference match of the season. UTSA falls to 5-20.

After UTSA hit .341 with 17 kills in the first game, Baylor turned things around for their first victory since an Oct. 9 three-gamer over Texas Tech. The Roadrunners managed just 24 kills the rest of the way, hitting .010 (24-23-99) over the final three games.

Meanwhile, the Bears' offense came alive after hitting .178 in the opener. Baylor hit .351, .333 and .458 over the next three games and were rarely out of control. The Bears finished with 63 kills to UTSA's 41 and hit .310 as a team, the fifth-highest four-game match attacking percentage in school history.

Schwartz led all players with 27 kills and hit .417 on the night. She joins Elisha Polk, Kia Young and Stevie Nicholas as the only players in Baylor history to reach the 20-kill plateau in three consecutive matches. Schwartz also had 10 digs for her eighth double-double of the season. She added three aces and three blocks for 32.0 total points.

Stella Odion added 13 kills and eight digs. Laura Daniela Lloreda posted her first double-double of the season with 10 kills, 17 digs, two service aces. Jillian Mazzarella barely missed a triple-double with eight errorless kills in 11 swings (.727), 21 assists and 14 digs. Emily Huston had 32 assists, a career high, and nine digs.

Baylor returns to action next Wednesday, hosting Texas A&M at 7 p.m. CST. The Aggies defeated the Bears in three games two weeks ago at College Station.
