Bears fall short in sloppy conditions to hosting Hoyas
THE RUNDOWN
WASHINGTON, D.C. – No. 11 Baylor soccer (20-6-0) saw its second-straight season end in the NCAA Soccer Championship quarterfinals, dropping a 3-0 decision at No. 2 Georgetown (20-0-3) on Saturday afternoon at Shaw Field on the GU campus.
With temperatures hovering around 40 degrees and over an inch of steady rainfall, the natural grass of Shaw Field quickly turned to a mud pit, with both sides struggling to maintain footing down the stretch.
As a No. 2 national seed, the Bears were paired with Georgetown's No. 1 seeding, with the Hoyas coming out firing in the opening stretch.
GU took 10 of its 15 first half shots in the opening 15 minutes, also earning five corners over that stretch. The Hoyas scored the lone first half goal on a corner in the eighth minute.
Jennifer Wandt kept the Bears in the match, making seven saves over the 90, five of those coming in the first period.
Georgetown added goals in the 50th and 76th minutes, proving to be an insurmountable lead for the Bears to overcome, with BU only able to put in six shots to GU's 24.
STAT OF THE MATCH
20 – Baylor's final win count in 2018, the most in program history.
NOTES
* Baylor improved to 8-5-2 all-time in the NCAA Soccer Championship, including a 5-2-1 mark under head coach Paul Jobson.
* Baylor and Georgetown met for the second time, both in NCAA play, with the Bears falling to 1-1-0 in the all-time series.
* Baylor advanced into the Elite 8 round of the NCAA Soccer Championship for the second time in program history, making its second-straight trip into the quarterfinals.
* Baylor was the furthest advancing team in the Big 12 and Texas for the second-straight season.
* Seniors Julie James and Sarah King leave Baylor ranking No. 1 and No. 2 in career minutes played, spending more time on the field together than any two student-athletes in program history.
* Seniors Kennedy Brown, Sarah King, Julie James, and Jackie Crowther played their last games in a Baylor uniform, joined by fellow seniors Haley Foster, Ariel Leach and Lauren Piercy as one of the most successful senior classes in program history, going 56-25-8 as a class.
* The 2018 squad finished the year without a draw for just the second time in program history, the first since 2001 (8-10-0).
* The 26 matches played in 2018 are the most in program history in a single season.
