By Daniel Hill Sports Writer

The Baylor Bears were swept 3-0 (19-25, 22-25, 22-25) in their match against the North Texas Mean Green in Denton on Tues- day night. With the loss, Baylor volleyball’s record falls to 13-2, and the Bears’ nine-game win-streak was snapped. “North Texas played great, and our blocking and defense was bad,” head coach Jim Barnes said. “We had a bad night, and you can’t hit that many errors and expect to win.” In the midst of a raucous North Texas Volleyball Center, the Bears faced a quality opponent in a hos- tile atmosphere. The Bears battled early in the match, and the two teams seemed to be evenly matched when North Texas called a timeout as Baylor only trailed by one point, 16-17.
