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 (8-5-2, 3-3-1) is riding high on a three-game winning streak and a four-game unbeaten streak, all in conference. This streak is highlighted by the Bears’ latest victory, a 2-1 win at UCF.

Tech’s leading goal scorer, Ashleigh Williams, scored her 11th and 12th goals of the season to make the difference for the visitors. The goals came in the 24th and 53rd minutes respectively.

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.

Ashley Merrill scored the winner and lone goal for Baylor Soccer (5-3-1) to help the Bears close out non-conference play with a 1-0 win on Sunday night against UTSA.

First half goals from Skylar Zinnecker and Hallie Augustyn made the difference for the Bears in an overall solid performance. Baylor has now won back-to-back regular season games for the first time under head coach Michelle Lenard.

First half goals from Florence Belzile and Abbey Schwarz saw the hosts build a 2-0 lead before Callie Conrad drew one back for the Bears with 15 seconds left in the first half. It was Conrad’s first goal of her freshman 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.
