As No. 14-ranked Baylor soccer prepares to close out their season with four straight home matches, beginning with a 7 p.m. matchup against Oklahoma State on Friday at Betty Lou Mays Field, the Bears find themselves in uncharted territory.
Baylor is ranked No. 8 in the Rating Percentage Index (RPI), a tool used by the NCAA Tournament selection committee to decide who makes the NCAA Tournament and where they are seeded. The Bears have never had a higher ranking in the program’s 23-year history.
Last weekend, the Bears took over first place in the Big 12 conference standings with the program’s first-ever win over West Virginia and an overtime win against Iowa State, both on the road.
