BAYLOR QUICK NOTES
* Baylor is looking to start the season off 4-0 for the first time since going 5-0 in 2013, a mark that the progarm has matched a total of four times (1996, 1998, 2002, 2013).
* Baylor is looking for its first nonconference two-match road trip with two wins since 2016 when the Bears knocked off both Northern Illinois and Illinois-Chicago (Sep. 2-4).
* Freshman Maddie Algya was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Week after her week one performance, leading the conference in goals, assists, and points in the opening weekend of play.
* Baylor enters the weekend eighth in the country in total goals (8) and 11th in total points (21), good for the 10th-highest scoring offense in the nation (4.00/goals per game).
* Raegan Padgett notched the fastest goal to start a match in program history, scoring the first goal vs. Samford (Aug. 19) just 35 seconds into the match.
* Baylor has now had 10 or more wins in 11 of its 22 seasons as a program, six of the last eight, and two-straight under sixth-year head coach Paul Jobson. The 15 wins for BU in 2017 was the most since the 2012 squad set a program record with 19 wins.
* Baylor has had at least eight wins in nine straight seasons and has won or advanced by shootout in at least one match at the Big 12 Championship 10 times in 15 appearances, including six in a row.
* From May 9-12, a group of current and former Baylor soccer student-athletes returned for the second-straight year to serve on a mission trip to Guatemala alongside Baylor FCA. The mission team served the children of Guatemala City and shared the love of Christ through the game of soccer.
