After an exciting 4-1 thrashing of No. 10 Arkansas to open the Baylor Soccer season, here are some of my thoughts and takeaways from the game.

Baylor Soccer went into SEC territory for the season-opener against No. 10 Arkansas and rode a first-half Lauren Omholt penalty kick goal to a 4-1 drubbing of the Razorbacks to kick off the 2026 season in style.

Big 12 coaches could be forgiven for thinking Baylor Soccer would finish middle of the pack in the league after losing five starters and their leading scorer. But Baylor has at least three potential breakouts, understated starters, and high-floor role players who could make a difference.

No. 5 Seed Baylor Soccer prevailed over the Sun Belt Champion Texas State Bobcats in their NCAA Tournament first round matchup by a score of 3-0.

Brace from Tyler Isgrig Leads Bears Past Cougs on Friday in Waco

No. 20 Baylor Soccer defeated the Iowa State Cyclones by a score of 3-0 to make it three straight 3-0 wins in Big 12 play. Junior forward Callie Conrad netted a brace, with sophomore winger Alysiah Lockette scoring the final nail in the ISU coffin.

Junior Aryanna Jimison unlocked the game for the Bears in the 35th minute with a curling strike to score the opener. The Jayhawks were unable to score an equalizer before Callie Conrad and Theresa McCullough netted insurance goals for the Bears in the second half.

Baylor Soccer lost its first game of the season to the visiting Texas Tech Red Raiders by a score of 1-0, thanks to a 72nd-minute penalty.

The Bears continue the best start of the Michelle Lenard era with a 4-1 thumping of Texas State. Tyler Isgrig narrowly missed out on a hat trick and Aryanna Jimison was a menace in the attack.

A crisp give-and-go between Alysiah Lockette and Aryanna Jimison lifted the Bears to their third-straight win and fourth-straight shutout.

Hallie Augustyn scored the opener for the Bears just eight minutes into the game, heading home a Tyler Isgrig corner with ease. The insurance came just before halftime as Alysiah Lockette cleaned up the scraps of a corner that started very similarly to the first goal in the 43rd minute.

Baylor Soccer opened its 2025 season with a 1-1 draw against former Big 12 rival Texas A&M. A 4th-minute goal for the hosts, courtesy of a defensive miscue, became the obstacle that the Bears took 77 minutes to overcome in the form of a Lauren Omholt equalizer.

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.

Baylor Soccer (4-1) earned its biggest win of the year and the biggest win of the Michelle Lenard era on Friday night beating former Big 12 foe Texas A&M 1-0 for a fourth win in a row. This also marks the Bears’ first win over the Aggies since 2000.
