Baylor soccer defeated No. 23 Butler 2-0 Thursday night at Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field.
The Bears came into the match with a home record of 3-0 on the season, outscoring opponents 14-1. The match was the highest-ranked opponent Baylor has faced thus far, with the Bulldogs ranked at No. 23 in the United Soccer Coaches Poll going into Thursday night.
Baylor head coach Paul Jobson said the team has been focused on the importance of non-conference play. The out-of-conference games provide experience, Jobson said, and it’s even better when the team can get the victory.
