Texas 3, Colorado 0

The No. 2 team in college volleyball continued its winning ways this weekend — Texas defeated Colorado in straight sets (23-25, 12-25, 15-25). Texas junior utility Jennifer Doris had a big game with eight kills and a .727 attack percentage. Texas will try to remain undefeated this week when it plays at Texas A&M Wednesday. Colorado will travel to Norman to play Oklahoma Wednesday.

Iowa State 3, Texas Tech 0

After winning against Nebraska last week, Oklahoma proved again that it was one of the best teams in the country by handing Texas Tech a lopsided defeat (15-25, 17-25, 19-25). Freshman middle blocker Jamie Straube had a big game with 12 kills and a .45 attack percentage. On Wednesday Iowa State plays Baylor at home, and Texas Tech will host Nebraska.

Nebraska 3, Oklahoma 1

Coming back from its loss to Iowa State, Nebraska made its case in a four-set victory against Oklahoma (22-25, 22-25, 25-22, 15-25). Freshman outside hitter Hannah Worth had a double-double with a team-high 19 kills and 12 digs. Nebraska seeks to continue winning as it takes on Texas Tech in Lubbock Wednesday. Oklahoma will play Colorado at home Wednesday.

Kansas State 1, Baylor 3

Baylor hoped to bounce back from its loss to Oklahoma the week before and made it happen against Kansas State. After losing the first set, Baylor went on a roll and won the next three, winning the match 3-1(18-25, 25-16, 25-18, 30-28). Senior outside hitter Katie Sanders had a double-double for Baylor with 14 kills and 18 digs. Baylor will travel to Ames to take on Iowa State Wednesday, while Kansas State will travel to Columbia to play Missouri.
