It was a heartbreaking weekend for Baylor soccer (8-5-3, 1-4-1) as it added two more tallies to the loss column after falling 1-0 against Iowa State in overtime on Friday and 2-0 against Kansas on Sunday.

Baylor played sound soccer this weekend, but came up short on the road in two tough matches.

The No. 1 Baylor Lady Bears (21-1, 11-0 Big 12) put on a show as they routed the Kansas Jayhawks 86–45 on Wednesday night.

Senior center Brittney Griner finished with another double-double, recording 26 points, 13 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. Junior guard Odyssey Sims had 13 points and nine assists.

Usually athletes don’t cry after a win, but they do occasionally shed tears after a loss.

Baylor sophomore running back Lache Seastrunk was so overcome with emotion in the waning moments of Baylor’s 52-24 victory over No. 1 Kansas State that he shed a few tears of joy.

“I broke into tears,” Seastrunk said. “Thirty seconds left, I don’t even know. It just came out. So magical to see your dream unfold right before your eyes, what you wanted for two years.”

Seastrunk’s emotion is understandable. After leaving the University of Oregon, where he redshirted as a freshman and did not play, he transferred to Baylor in August of 2011 and had to sit out the entire season due to NCAA transfer rules.

In effect, Seastrunk hasn’t actually played in a football game in nearly two years.
