Bears maintain perfect home record in 2018

THE RUNDOWN
WACO, Texas – Baylor soccer (13-4-0, 6-1-0 Big 12) continued its dominance at home, defeating Kansas State (4-10-2, 0-7-0 Big 12) in a 1-0 decision on Friday evening, having to relocate from Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field to the nearby Baylor football practice fields due to weeklong heavy rains.

The Bears showed complete control of the pace of the game, carrying big leads over the Wildcats in shots (21-10), shots on goal (9-3), and corner kicks (6-5).

After a scoreless first period, the Bears got off to a quick start in the second half, cracking through the scoreboard in the 49th minute.

Camryn Wendlandt received a pass up from Jackie Crowther, breaking free of the Wildcat backline. Dribbling up the field for a long run, Wendlandt laced a shot outside of the Wildcat keeper's reach, finding the back of the net for the game-winning goal.

After allowing just three shots in the first half, Baylor goalkeeper Jennifer Wandt and the Baylor defense stood strong on seven Wildcat shots in the second half, keeping the 1-0 lead intact for the win.

STAT OF THE MATCH #1
21-1 – the score differential for the Bears at home in 2018, improving to 8-0 at Betty Lou Mays Field this season.

STAT OF THE MATCH #2
23 – the career Big 12 wins for Baylor head coach Paul Jobson (23-18-6), tying his wife and former Baylor head coach Marci Jobson (23-28-11) for the most conference wins in program history.

STAT OF THE MATCH #3
6 – the number of Big 12 wins in 2018 for Baylor soccer, the most in a season since 2000.

TOP QUOTES
"There were five or six guys who were putting in 10 hours a day starting Monday, trying to get Betty Lou ready for us, and when we realized it probably wasn't going to be ready, they came over here and started getting this ready. I can't thank Coach Rhule, the football team and administration enough for giving us the opportunity to come over here and play this game. If we don't play here, we don't get the game in tonight, we don't have anywhere else to play and our field was underwater. So, I really appreciate Coach Rhule and the athletic department for giving us an opportunity to play here. It's a fantastic pitch, we got a lot of great comments about the surface here. We obviously would rather be at Betty Lou, but to have a backup like that, it's a pretty nice backup. We hope we don't have to do it again, but we're thankful for the opportunity." – Baylor head coach Paul Jobson

"Every game we've played is tight so this one really wasn't anything new. We're one up and we were in the lead so that always takes the pressure off of me." – Baylor sophomore goalkeeper Jennifer Wandt

"I've developed a lot as a player this year. Getting minutes last year helped me a lot in getting used to the Big 12 Conference, because I didn't come from this conference and I worked really hard in the spring, so it's really cool to see all of that come to fruition." – Baylor junior forward Camryn Wendlandt

NOTES
* Baylor and Kansas State met for the second time, with the Bears improving to 2-0-0 in the series and 2-0-0 under head coach Paul Jobson.

* Sophomore goalkeeper Jennifer Wandt extended her home shutout streak this season to 610:00 minutes, closing out her ninth solo shutout on the season and the 18th of her collegiate career.

* Camryn Wendlandt scored her seventh goal of the season and her team-best fourth game-winning goal of the season, all coming in Big 12 play.

* The Bears continue to score at a clip that ranks them among the most productive offenses in the country, scoring at least one goal for 17-straight matches, the longest streak to start a season since the program's 1996 inaugural season (scored in all 21 matches).

WHAT'S NEXT
Baylor hosts Kansas to close the final full weekend of the 2018 regular season, playing on Sunday, Oct. 21, at 2 p.m. at Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field. The match will be televised on ESPNU.
