Behind a 14-5-4 record, top-15 national ranking and five All-Big 12 honors, Baylor delivered its most complete season under Michelle Lenard, powered by depth, veteran leadership and strong wins. It was a year the Bears didn’t just put up numbers — they rebuilt a standard, found their identity and laid a foundation that will carry the program forward for years to come.

Baylor soccer traveled to Stillwater, Okla. for its last regular-season game of the year Thursday. The Bears showcased a strong performance to gain their 12th win of the season and clinch the No. 5 seed in the Big 12 tournament.

With a 9-1-2 record and a four-game win streak, Baylor soccer is proving its rise is no fluke. Now ranked No. 2 in the Big 12 and top 15 nationally, the Bears look every bit the contender head coach Michelle Lenard envisioned.

On the tail of a 2-0 victory over No. 17 Mississippi State, Baylor soccer stays unbeaten in 2025, holding Texas to 13 total shots in the Bears’ fourth consecutive clean sheet.

After capping off a four-game homestand with a win against Houston on Sunday, Baylor soccer fought to a 1-1 draw to end the Big 12 leading No. 16 Colorado Buffaloes’ eight-match win streak Thursday night at Prentup Field in Boulder, Colo.

In the third year under head coach Michelle Lenard, Baylor soccer’s expectations are sky-high, and 90 minutes of strong play is required every night. So when Texas State landed a last-minute goal to prevent a loss for the first time in program history at Betty Lou Mays Field, a tie felt even worse than a loss.

Despite trailing at halftime, Baylor soccer managed to bring it back and take down SMU 2-1 Thursday night in Dallas at Washburne Stadium, thanks to another game-winning goal from junior forward Tyler Isgrig.
