WACO, Texas - In the 69th minute of play, senior forward Courtney Saunders took a pass from senior midfielder Nikki Hales to give Baylor their third defeat of the Texas A&M Aggies in four years. The 1-0 win moved Baylor to 9-4 on the season and 3-2 in Big XII play. Texas A&M fell to 10-3 on the season and 4-2 in league action.

It was not until after the break that Saunders scored her ninth goal on the season by taking a pass from Hales and shooting straight on from 15 yards out.
