// SERIES HISTORY

// LAST TIME OUT
Cincinnati dropped a road match to then-ranked No. 3 Texas on Saturday afternoon in Austin. The Bearcats, facing their fourth straight ranked opponent, were swept by the Longhorns.
Sophomore Carly Glendinning was a bright spot, finishing with six kills at a .263 clip. She did not commit an attacking error until late in the third set.
