The Baylor soccer team (7-4-4) will host its final home game of the season Friday when it hosts Houston Baptist (6-6-3) at 5:00 p.m. then hit the road to take on Oklahoma State (9-7-0, 3-5-0) Sunday at 1:00 p.m.

"This is the final home game for our seniors and we want to make it a positive memory," head coach Marci Jobson said. "We have a lot of work left to do in conference play and need to be at our best."

The Bears are coming off a 1-1 weekend that saw BU fall to Missouri 5-0, but bounce back for a 2-1 double overtime win over Kansas on Senior Day. Freshman Lisa Sliwinski earned a national weekly honor after being named one of CollegeSoccer360.com's Primetime Performers of the week. Sliwinski scored the game-winning goal for the Bears against Kansas with just 3:33 left in the second overtime period. The win moved Baylor into a tie for fourth in the Big 12 with 11 points.

Houston Baptist is coming off a pair of 1-1 ties to Utah Valley and North Dakota last weekend. Isla Cameron and Gabby Trujillo lead the Huskies attack with four goals apiece. Michelle Rich has a 1.23 GAA, as HBU has been outscored 17-18 this season.

The Cowgirls swept Texas and Texas Tech last season to move into eighth place in the Big 12 standings. OSU, which has suffered six of its seven losses this season by one goal, has outscored its opponents 31-13 on the season, and 11 different players have collected goals. Annika Niemeier leads the scoring attack with seven goals, while four Cowgirls have recorded four goals apiece. Freshman goalkeeper AD Franch leads the Big 12 with six shutouts.
