Baylor volleyball looks to shake off its three-match losing streak as it returns to Waco on Friday night to face Big 12 opponent Kansas at the Ferrell Center. The Bears (10-8, 1-3) have yet to win a match since the team’s five-set win over Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan., on Sept. 27. Since then, they have dropped matches to Texas Tech at home and away at TCU and No. 2 Texas.
