Kansas University’s volleyball squad has experienced more than its share of disappointment this season. But the Jayhawks will have a chance to avenge one of those low points when they play host tonight to Baylor.

Game time is 7 p.m. at Horejsi Center.

“This team better be excited about Baylor,” KU coach Ray Bechard said. “One of our most disappointing losses this year is to them.”

Kansas (14-9 overall, 5-9 Big 12 Conference) bowed to Baylor (12-14, 4-11) in four games Oct. 2 in Waco, Texas. The 3-1 defeat came in the midst of a five-game conference losing streak.

After Saturday’s 3-0 sweep of Oklahoma, the Jayhawks are in seventh place in the league standings and still hope to receive an NCAA Tournament bid.

“We’re planning on winning the rest of our home games,” KU senior Ashley Michaels said. “We need to do that. We’re just hoping to get closer to a winning record to show an even balance of wins and losses in the conference, which would hopefully push us into the NCAA Tournament.”

After tonight, KU has two home matches remaining, but must face powerhouses Nebraska and Texas on the road.

Clearly, the Jayhawks can’t afford to overlook teams below them in the conference standings — like Baylor.

“We feel that is our only bad loss this year, and I don’t know if that’s good to say or not, but we do,” Michaels said. “Our thing is to go out there and show them that they didn’t get the best of us.”
