Freshman Elia Dinsmore led Tech with 10 kills on a .350 hitting percentage, with fellow freshman Sara Bowcutt adding seven kills. Katelyn Cochran ran the offense with 22 assists and pitched in eight digs, while Emily Contreras matched her for the team high in digs. Maddie Smotherman added six digs for Alisa Blair's squad.
Kansas proved too efficient across the net, hitting .427 as a team. Reese Ptacek powered the Jayhawks with 14 kills on a blistering .689 clip. Taylor Stanley also did damage, helping Kansas move to 9-3 overall and 2-0 in conference.
The loss puts Tech at 8-6 on the season and searching for its first Big 12 win. Fans who packed the United Supermarkets Arena saw flashes of promise from a young Red Raiders roster, especially the freshman duo of Dinsmore and Bowcutt. Still, Kansas outhit Texas Tech by nearly 80 percentage points, and that gap told the story against a ranked opponent.
