Baylor’s postseason run came to a halt Wednesday night in Fort Worth, as No. 8 BYU capitalized on defensive miscues and handed the Bears their first 4-0 defeat in nearly two years to advance to the Big 12 Championship final.

After falling to Texas Tech earlier this season, Baylor flipped the script when it mattered most, surviving seven rounds of penalty kicks to punch its ticket to the Big 12 semifinals.

From an 8-8-5 campaign a year ago to a 12-win season, the Bears have rewritten their story. With veteran leadership and belief in their potential, Baylor soccer heads to Fort Worth for the 2025 Big 12 Championships.

Baylor’s five-game win streak ended Thursday under the Fort Worth lights, where the Bears never quite settled into their rhythm against the defending Big 12 champions. TCU controlled the pace from the opening whistle, turning early pressure into momentum that carried throughout the top-20 matchup.

The Bears competed at home and on the road over the Fall Break weekend.

Baylor soccer fell short of a victory by a matter of centimeters against Cincinnati, as the Senior Night contest ended in a draw, 2-2, on Thursday at Betty Lou Mays Field.
