After two weeks without a win or multiple goals in a single game, the Bears poured in four goals on 16 shots.

Defense dominated the night and the Bears were unfortunate to concede the lone goal.

The Bears built a 2-0 lead in the first half with a pair of headed goals before a third header and a low shot found the back of the net for the Green and Gold in the second half.

After overcoming a 1-0 second-half deficit, the Bears conceded with 13 seconds left in the game to draw a pesky Bobcats side.

Head Coach Michelle Lenard was very disappointed in her team's play, but the Bears were anything but overrun in this matchup. Expectations remain high for the Bears of Betty Lou.

A trio of second-half goals was the difference for Iowa who controlled the game practically from start to finish and heavily disrupted Baylor with an aggressive high-press.

Second-half goals from junior defender Hallie Augustyn and junior forward Tyler Isgrig were the difference-makers on the scoreboard, but solid performances from many others were pivotal in helping the Bears extend their winning streak to five games.

The Bears of Betty Lou went 1-1 in their first week. Football, Volleyball and Cross Country get started by the end of August.

Baylor star midfielder Ashley Merrill opened her scoring ledger for the season with back-to-back goals late in the first half. The Bears scored three other times, one goal each from juniors Hannah and Hallie Augustyn plus an own goal from the Bonnies.

A third minute goal by State’s Ilana Izquierdo proved to be the difference between the teams.

The preseason No. 18 team in the nation hosts the Bears on Thursday with kickoff set for 6:30 PM CT on ESPN+.

Looking at roster turnover, minutes lost and goal contributions returning, these Bears have a good chance to surpass expectations.

Baylor leading scorer Ashley Merrill scored two clutch goals to give the Bears the win and secure a solid matchup in the first round of the conference tournament.

The Bears were four minutes away from earning their fourth win in a row — a streak of potentially as many games as the team won all of last season — but the team will have to settle for only a fifth game unbeaten in a row.

Baylor Soccer used a late goal from defender Hallie Augustyn to earn its third straight win and get back to .500 in Big 12 play with a 2-1 victory over the UCF Knights.

Tyler Isgrig had a stellar night for the Bears scoring two beautiful goals and assisting on a third. Ashley Merrill was the beneficiary and calm finisher of Isgirg’s assist while the Bears opener was netted by freshman and Manchester, UK native Salma Simonin.

Sophomore Hannah Augustyn, playing outside back today, scored the opener and winner for the green and goal in the seventh minute. Fellow defenders Hallie Augustyn, Ava Colberg and Blythe Obar all made last-ditch saves of KSU shots to preserve the Baylor lead as well.

There may be more questions than answers for the Bears as their Big 12 scoreless streak hits four full games.
