In the aftermath of the election a lot of speculation has come from all sides as to exactly why the election wasn’t as close as it could have been.

After defeating Arizona State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the No. 3 seed Baylor women’s soccer team will take on the Georgetown Hoyas at 3 p.m. today at Fetzer Field at the University of North Carolina, the host school for the region.

When head coach Kim Mulkey told her team they were going to Hawaii, senior forward Destiny Williams asked her, “Do I have to snorkel?”

The Baylor football team got off to a rough start in Big 12 Conference play by losing four consecutive games to West Virginia, Texas Christian, Texas and Iowa State. In its last two games, Baylor has shown marked improvement: a victory over Kansas and a narrow defeat to Oklahoma.
