Baylor Game Notes

FORT WORTH, Texas - Baylor soccer (10-4-2, 4-3-1 Big 12) looks for a strong finish to the 2017 regular season, facing TCU (11-5-1, 5-2-1 Big 12) on Friday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium.

Baylor will look to bounce back after a heartbreaking overtime loss to No. 8 Texas last weekend, hoping to put an exclamation point on BU's resume before heading into the Big 12 Soccer Championship, kicking off Wednesday, Nov. 1, in Kansas City, Mo.

The Bears and Horned Frogs have met 16 times, with Baylor holding a 10-1-3 advantage in the all-time series. The last meeting between the squads ended in a 2-3 overtime loss for BU on Nov. 4, 2016, closing last year's Big 12 tournament and Baylor's season.
