Bears down Red Raiders in Lubbock

THE RUNDOWN
LUBBOCK, Texas – Baylor soccer (9-4-0, 2-1-0 Big 12) worked its second-straight conference shutout, taking a 2-0 win over Texas Tech (9-2-1, 1-1-1 Big 12) on Sunday afternoon at John Walker Soccer Complex.

Both of BU's goals came off the foot of Jackie Crowther, with the senior forward providing crucial minutes at the end of each of the two periods off the bench.

Crowther first put the Bears on the board in the 31st minute, gathering a blocked shot attempt to push the goal across and give BU the 1-0 advantage at half.

Keeping the pedal down in the second half, Crowther gave the Bears a crucial insurance score, working from outside the right side of the box, sidestepping multiple Red Raider defenders and drilling home a goal from 15 yards out to ice the 2-0 win.

STAT OF THE MATCH
8 – the different number of Bears to record a game-winning goal this season, with Crowther becoming the eighth different BU scorer to do so

NOTES
* Baylor and Texas Tech met for the 24th time, with the Bears improving to 16-5-3 in the series and 3-1-2 under head coach Paul Jobson.

* Jackie Crowther scored her third and fourth goals of the season, bumping her career goal count into double-digits with 10.

* The Bears continue to score at a clip that ranks them among the Top 10 most productive offenses in the country, scoring at least one goal for 12-straight matches, the longest streak for BU since going 14-straight matches from the end of 2012 into 2013, and the longest streak to start a season since 2011 (12-straight).

* Sophomore goalkeeper Jennifer Wandt picked up her sixth solo shutout of the season and the 15^th of her BU career.

* Despite BU allowing a season-high 12 corner kicks, Wandt made a season-high six saves to keep the Red Raiders scoreless

WHAT'S NEXT
Baylor closes its Big 12 road schedule with the longest distance travel on the conference slate, playing West Virginia in Morgantown on Friday, Oct. 5, before crossing back into the central time zone to face Iowa State in Ames on Sunday, Oct. 7. The Bears then close the final four games of the regular season over the next three weeks at home.
