No. 16 Baylor opened its home slate with a mix of fast offense and stretches of inconsistency, but the Bears found stability in the scoring of Taliah Scott and the steady two-way play of Bella Fontleroy en route to their 33rd straight home-opening win.

From the opening whistle to the final horn, Baylor set the tempo and walked away with its first home win of 2025, a 2–0 upset over No. 17 Mississippi State.
