AUSTIN, Texas – Defense makes the difference, whether you’re playing a squad to which you haven’t lost in 15 years or the top-ranked volleyball team in the nation.

The fifth-ranked University of Texas volleyball team continued its run of stellar defensive play and made the most of its chances to win at the end of the first and second sets Wednesday night during a 25-23, 26-24, 25-16 sweep of Baylor at Gregory Gym. It was the Longhorns’ third sweep against a Big 12 opponent and their third three-set victory in their past six matches.

Texas (19-3 overall, 11-1 in Big 12 play) has not lost to the Bears since [article-offer]
