The Baylor women’s soccer team will travel to Denton and San Antonio this weekend on their second road trip of the season.

The Bears protected their house last weekend against Nebraska and McNeese State, and they will look to do the same against the University of North Texas and The University of Texas at San Antonio.

North Texas started the season 6-0, though it has yet to play a team ranked in the top 25.

Robert Griffin III is preparing to face the New Orleans Saints in the Redskins’ season opener Sunday, but the key to upgrading his training efforts may be back at Baylor.

“He practices a lot and can’t have the whole defense out there every time,” said Dr. Michael Korpi, professor of film and digital media. “His dream was that he could go into the practice facilities, even without a receiver, and practice against a defense and be able to tell if the pass was completed or not.”

Last year, Baylor’s RG3-led offense was historic. Points came in bunches at a rate of more than 45 per game. The defense, however, was a different story.

Baylor’s defense in 2011 gave up more than 37 points per game.

Barrel racers from around the state of Texas made their way to the 23rd annual American Novice Horse Association ShootOut barrel race at the Extraco Events Center Pavilion in Waco this past weekend.

The Baylor football team made its statement with a 59-24 victory over the SMU Mustangs Sunday evening.

“We felt like we had to come out and see what we were,” Baylor head coach Art Briles said. “Just like everybody else, we weren’t sure. We felt like we knew what we had. We felt like we knew we had a determined, eager, anxious football team that wanted to prove themselves.”

The Baylor volleyball team swept Texas State 3-0 Tuesday night at the Ferrell Center.

Baylor started out the first set by quickly jumping out to an 8-4 advantage, forcing Texas State to call an early timeout.

Following the timeout, the Bobcats came out refocused and won the next two points, battling to even the set at 10 apiece.

Senior Alyssa Dibbern spiked the ball for a Baylor point.

After defeating Nebraska and McNeese State over the weekend, the Baylor soccer team moved to 5-1 on the season.

The women allowed just three shots in the two games and did not give up a goal.

The Baylor cross-country team opened the season this past Friday night, Aug. 31, at the Bear Twilight Invitational in Waco.

The women claimed a first-place victory, and the men earned second.
