Baylor soccer earned several awards on Monday after finishing second in the Big 12 Conference. Freshman Lauren Piercy was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, and earned second-team All-Big 12 honors. Fellow rookie teammates Amanda Hoglund, Julie James, and Sarah King also joined Piercy in being selected to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team.
Piercy shared the prestigious honor with West Virginia’s Bianca St. Georges to land the Bears their first-ever individual player Big 12 end-of-season honor since the program was established in 1996. The freshman from Amarillo, Texas, is No. 29 in Baylor’s history for All-Big 12 choices and extends the current run of four straight years with a player earning post season honors.
