Baylor soccer lost a heartbreaker 1-0 to Iowa State after conceding a goal in the last 23 seconds of the first overtime on Friday night at the Cyclone Sports Complex in Ames, Iowa.

“We knew coming in that [Iowa State] was a tough team,” Baylor co-head coach Paul Jobson said. “They are battlers and their goalie made some fantastic saves. There was no question with our fight, heart and ability to play tonight. We just couldn’t break the frame of the goal.”

Baylor volleyball fell in straight sets to the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday at the Ferrell Center. The Bears hit .010 for the match and had 35 total errors in the three set match. Baylor lost the sets 25-13, 25-13, 25-19. With the loss, Baylor fell to 9-13 on the season and 1-5 in Big 12 play, while the Sooners improved to 16-4 and 4-2 in the Big 12.

With Oklahoma losing last week in the Red River Rivalry, Baylor moved up to 12th in the country in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Polls, which is the highest the Bears have been since 1991. For the first time in the 16-year history of the Big 12, Baylor is the highest ranked team in the conference.

The Baylor Bears will look to prove they belong at the front of the pack as they play Iowa State in the final homecoming game at Floyd Casey Stadium.

No. 21 Oklahoma State vs. TCU

Despite the perception of Oklahoma State as an offensive oriented team, the defense has stepped up and has been integral to the Cowboys’ success. OSU is currently 38th in the country and fifth in the Big 12 in total defense, holding teams to 361.2 yards per game.

“Setters are basically the quarterback of the volleyball team,” junior middle hitter Nicole Bardaji said. “They tell us what to do and they talk to the defense and tell what kind of passes she needs. They have a big impact on the game.”

Sophomore setter Amy Rosenbaum has been relied on this season to be the starting setter for the first time in her collegiate career, and she has delivered big results. In Big 12 play, Rosenbaum is third in the conference with 10.82 assists per set and second among underclassmen.

Courageous. Determined. Passionate. Those are the words many use to describe senior midfielder Larissa Campos, who has overcome many obstacles to pursue her dream of playing soccer.

As a talented basketball and soccer player in high school, Campos has never shied away from success and has continuously pushed herself to be the best.

With only four more Big 12 games left for Baylor, the matchups occurring around the league will be important for the Big 12 Tournament seeding. The Bears will have to take care of business, but also keep an eye out for other teams.

Baylor senior guard Odyssey Sims was 2013 World University Games MVP, three-time Wade Watch list candidate and participant in the USA Women’s National Team mini-camp.

The World University Games are equivalent to the Olympics for collegiate athletes and Sims had the opportunity to play for Team USA at this summer’s games in Russia.
