NORMAN, Okla. — The Red Raiders will have to wait at least until Nov. 7 in their effort to snap a losing skid against Oklahoma dating back to the 2002 season.
A strong start by Texas Tech wasn't enough to overcome the Sooners at McCasland Field House in a 18-25, 25-18, 25-22, 25-17 loss Wednesday.
Emily Hill had 13 kills and two blocks for the Red Raiders (15-5, 4-2 in the Big 12), and Katy Keenan recorded 10 kills and five blocks.
Brooke Kanas rounded out Texas Tech players in double digits with 10 kills.
The Red Raiders lost their second match in a row after a nine-match winning streak.
Missy Owens chipped in 41 assists, tying for match high with Sooners setter Kylee McLaughlin.
Alyssa Enneking's 21 kills and six blocks led the way for Oklahoma (11-7, 3-3). Sarah Sanders and Morgan Miller also reached double-digit scoring totals.
The Red Raiders opened the match with a 13-5 run, but Brianna Kadiku broke a 15-15 tie in the second game and the Sooners didn't trail again until the early points of the fourth set. Oklahoma closed the match on a 15-9 run.
Texas Tech returns home to face Kansas at 1 p.m. Saturday inside the United Supermarkets Arena. The Sooners remain at home for a Saturday match against Texas.
