LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas volleyball powered its way to its 13th-consecutive victory in Lawrence versus Texas Tech in a three-set sweep on Wednesday night in the Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena.

The second set was a close fight from start to finish, with a call being overturned in Texas Tech’s favor and bringing the Jayhawks lead down to only two points 18-16. Kansas didn’t let the overturned call deter them, as they stormed back to win seven of the final nine points to take the second set, 25-18.

The Jayhawks were in complete control of the third set as they never found themselves behind on their way to a  25-17 win.

Ennis was an unstoppable force, notching a team-high eight digs, six kills, three assists and six total blocks on the night.

Hill led the attack for the Jayhawks with a team-high nine kills and a team-best six total blocks. Freshman Morgan Christon and redshirt-senior Ashley Smith weren’t far behind Hill with eight and seven kills, respectively. Junior Sara Nielsen led the team with 29 assists.
