HOW IT HAPPENED

Baylor stormed back from a two set deficit to stun West Virginia in five sets Saturday afternoon in Morgantown.

The Bears were in great position to take the opening set as they led 18-10. But the Mountaineers closed the gap and used a 7-0 run to turn a 22-18 deficit into a 25-22 win.

West Virginia came out of the gate on fire in the second set, as it took the first seven points and cruised all the way to a 25-13 win.

The Mountaineers looked poised to take the sweep as they led 21-19 in the third, but Baylor had one final push to try to extend the match. The Bears came through with a 6-1 run to claim the third, 25-22.

The fourth set was back and forth, but again Baylor closed strong with a 6-1 spurt to take the set, 25-20 and force a fifth set.

West Virginia earned a match point try at 15-14 in the fifth, but three straight scores by the Bears, including a final kill from Shelly Fanning, sent Baylor home victorious.
