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.

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

With three days until the season opener, Michelle Lenard is aiming to take Baylor Soccer to a place it has not been since 2018: The NCAA tournament.

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.

The Bears gave up three rather weak first-half goals before Brecken Mozingo netted her second of the night and fourth overall for the Cougars during the second half.

Heading into Texas A&M, Baylor head coach Michelle Lenard said that the biggest question for her team was their youth. Now they look to string together good performances for the first time this season.

The 2023 Baylor Soccer season begins tomorrow night in Eugene Oregon with the Bears set to battle the Oregon Ducks at 7 PM CST.

The Bears welcomed four transfers and a freshman class of ten to Waco since the end of last season, and there are many in that group who will play important roles on the field this year.

With official practices starting today, how far along is the building project that is Baylor Soccer under Michelle Lenard?
