CU (8-8, 1-3 Big 12) has shaken off an 0-3 start in league play since 2019, improving its record against Texas Tech to 28-5. The Buffs have won nine of the past 10 meetings with the Red Raiders.
Lily Dwinell paced CU’s offense with 16 kills, and Sydney Jordan finished with 11 kills, four blocks, and 11 digs. Libero Sarah Morton scored 20 points.
