BEARS FACE HORNED FROGS IN SATURDAY SHOWDOWN
• The Bears are still the only undefeated team left in D1 college volleyball and hold a perfect 14-0 record.
• BU went undefeated through non-conference play for the first time since 2009 and only the third time in program history. The 2001 season was the first time the Bears went unblemished in non-conference action with an 8-0 record, and the 2009 squad went a program-best 11-0.
• Baylor looks to win its third-straight match against TCU in Ft. Worth for the first time since the start of the all-time series. BU won consecutive road matches in 1999, 2007 and 2009 against TCU.
• Baylor is riding a 14-match winning streak, including four straight on the road.
• BU is 5-3 against TCU under head coach Ryan McGuyre, including 2-2 in Ft. Worth.
• BU is riding a program-best 25-set winning streak. Baylor has won eight straight matches in three sets and won the fourth set against Houston on Sept. 12.
• Baylor is in the top-20 nationally in five different stat categories heading into Saturday's match, and two players are among the nation's top 15 in four categories (full list on pg. 3).
• Baylor is tied with Stephen F. Austin for the longest-set win streak in the country. Both teams hold a 25-set win streak heading into Saturday. SFA plays at home against Abilene Christian on Saturday.
A WIN WOULD…
• A Baylor win would extend the Bears' school-record with 15 consecutive wins and a program-best 15-0 mark to open a season. BU broke the original record last Wednesday against Oklahoma.
• A win would give BU an unblemished 5-0 record in road matches this season.
• A win would be Baylor's fifth consecutive win over the Horned Frogs since the all-time series started in 1996. BU opened the series with a seven-match win streak running though 2010.
• A win would give BU a 5-0 Big 12 record to start league play for the first time under McGuyre.
LAST TIME VS. TCU IN FORT WORTH (Oct. 24, 2018)
• Behind two double-doubles from Yossiana Pressley and Aniah Philo, Baylor volleyball grinded out a five-set victory over TCU inside the Rickel of the University Recreation Center, 25-17, 14-25, 25-15, 24-26, 15-8.
• The Bears swept the Horned Frogs for the second consecutive season and improve to 15-7 in the all-time series, including 5-3 record under head coach Ryan McGuyre.
• Pressley paced the offense with 30 kills on a .254 efficiency for her third 30-kill match of the season. She added 11 digs for her eighth double-double of the season. Aniah Philo returned into the lineup and posted 11 kills and 15 digs for her ninth double-double of 2018.
• Behind the service line, junior Tara Wulf recorded a career-high five service aces to lead all players.
EVERY SET MATTERS
• The top-ranked Bears are 14-0 on the season, but the most impressive stat is the fact that the team has won 42 sets and only dropped two in the process.
• The Bears have swept 12 teams in 2019, including four ranked squads in Marquette, Hawai'i, Missouri and Creighton.
• Out of 42 sets won, only nine of those have been decided by two points.
• Six sets have been decided in extra points with BU winning them all (Wisconsin, Marquette, Missouri, K-State, Iowa State twice).
• The Bears dropped set one at No. 4 Wisconsin, 25-21, and dropped set three against Houston in the team's home opener, 25-23.
