After getting shut out by West Virginia 2-0 on Sunday, Baylor soccer is trying to pick up the pieces if they want to go any further this season. Now, the Bears travel to Utah for a pair of matchups against BYU and Utah. Kickoff against BYU is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Thursday at South Field in Provo.

Making the most of limited opportunities and slowing down No. 22 TCU’s steady attack, Baylor soccer was able to come away with its second draw against a nationally ranked team this week, landing a 1-1 tie against the Horned Frogs Sunday afternoon at Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field.

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.

Second chances don’t come often. That’s what makes those moments bigger. With the opportunity to right a wrong, No. 8-seeded Baylor soccer has its shot at redemption against No. 9 seed Cincinnati on its biggest stage yet — the 2023 Sprouts Farmers Market Big 12 Soccer Championship.
