Baylor Soccer is five games into Big 12 play with only one win and is still set to face tough opponents to make their push for the Big 12 Championship.
To secure a spot in the 2024 Sprouts Farmers Market Big 12 Soccer Championship, the Bears (6-4-3, 1-2-2 Big 12) must remain in the top 12 of the 16 eligible teams. Currently sitting at 11th, they face high stakes in the coming weeks with four matches against teams currently sitting in the top six. Baylor’s first test comes this Friday against Texas Tech (9-2-1, 4-0-1 Big 12), a team receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches Association national poll while sitting second in the Big 12.
