After capping off a four-game homestand with a win against Houston on Sunday, Baylor soccer fought to a 1-1 draw to end the Big 12 leading No. 16 Colorado Buffaloes’ eight-match win streak Thursday night at Prentup Field in Boulder, Colo.
Junior goalkeeper Azul Alvarez was tested within the first 20 second of the match, as the Buffaloes (9-1-1, 3-0-1 Big 12) took the first shot. Despite the early strike against them, the Bears (6-4-2, 1-2-1 Big 12) pushed Colorado back and managed to hold their own for most of the first half, retaliating in the 11th minute with graduate student midfielder Ashley Merrill placing a shot on goal.
