Baylor soccer knocks off defending national champions USC in penalty kicks

By Nathan Keil | Sports Editor

The opponent was different. The name on the jersey read Trojans across and they donned the crown of defending national champions. But the Baylor message never wavered. Never quit, never surrender.

Baylor soccer stormed back to tie the game at one with 16 seconds left in regulation on a goal from junior defender Sarah King and it was King who delivered the knockout to USC.

Leading 2-0 in penalty kicks, King smoothly fired it to left and passed a diving redshirt freshman goalkeeper Kaylie Collins to send the Bears to the Sweet Sixteen.
