Sept. 29, 2015 IRVING, Texas - Baylor soccer freshman forward Jackie Crowther was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, the league announced Tuesday. Following Sarah King (Sept. 15) and Lauren Piercy's (Sept. 22) lead the last two weeks, Crowther gives the Bears three straight Newcomer of the Week honors for the first time in school history.
The Temecula, California, native Crowther scored the golden goal in the 94th minute as Baylor topped Oklahoma State, 1-0, in overtime last Friday. The rookie netted her third goal of the season for her first game-winner and golden goal of her collegiate career. Crowther is tied for third on the team with three goals and ranks tied for fourth with seven points in 2015.
Since the program started in 1996, BU has earned nine Newcomer of the Week honors and three this season.
After winning last weekend's Big 12 opener over Oklahoma State, the Bears (6-4-1, 1-0-0) return to action this weekend in Iowa for a match against Iowa State Friday.
