LINCOLN, Nebraska – Baylor soccer fell against Nebraska, 2-1, Sunday afternoon at Barbara Hibner Field.

The Bears fell behind early in the contest, allowing a Husker goal in the 10^th minute. BU held off the Nebraska threat until the 27^th minute when the Huskers went up, 2-0, after slipping past the keeper.

With the first half winding down, freshman Theresa McCullough got off a shot in the 45^th minute but it was blocked, and the Bears were rewarded with a corner kick.
