🐻The Official Daily Newsletter For Baylor Athletics

Good Morning Bear Country. When the sun is shining and weather is nice, sometimes you just have to post up.

That’s exactly what the Baylor women’s hoops squad did on Wednesday night, but it was a different type of post up on their trip to Orlando.

What all do we have stirring in today’s Brew? Check it out below!

🎥 ONE WEEK AWAY!

Entering his 25th season at the helm of the Baylor softball program,
Glenn Moore knows a thing or two about winning.

With over 900 victories as Bears head coach, Moore has seen a lot of his tenure in Waco and this year, he’s ready for more (no pun intended) as Baylor enters the 2025 season as one of the country’s top teams yet again.

In this week’s Sic ‘Em Pod, he sits down to talk about his coaching career
and preview the year ahead.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Postin’ Up. Led by a near perfect outing from Aaronette Vonleh, the Baylor women’s hoops squad stayed within striking distance of the top spot in the Big 12 with a decisive 75-64 road win at UCF on Wednesday night.

Vonleh, who went 11-of-12 from the field, finished with 22 points on the night, while front court mate Darianna Littlepage-Buggs notched her ninth double-double of the season with 17 points and 11 rebounds.

As a team, the Bears poured in 38 points in the paint and just a game out of first-place in the conference nearing the halfway point in league play.

🏀: The Full Recap

🔼 Smart Cookies. On the court, they dominated yet again, reaching another NCAA Tournament and posting another 20+ win season. 

In the classroom, they dominated as well. This week, three members of the Baylor volleyball squad earned Academic All-Big 12 accolades with Elise McGhee, Jackie Barrett Frazier and Allie Sczech all being honored.

🔼 It Was All A Dream. After 11 seasons in Phoenix, Baylor legend Britney Griner has a new mailing address.

With WNBA free agency in full swing this week, Griner inked a deal to join the Atlanta Dream next year.

🎥 BAYLOR+: JANA ON THE MIC

This is not the season that Jana Van Gytenbeek had envisioned
for herself, but the Colorado native is making the most of
her opportunities despite being sidelined by a season-long injury.

During a recent road trip, the Baylor women’s hoops star had a different perspective for the game as she put on the headset and joined Derek Smith as the color analyst.

Go behind-the-scenes of her first time on the mic.

🤔 SIC ’EM TRIVIA

🎥 BACKING THE BEARS

During his four seasons with the Bears, Isaiah Hankins made nearly 50
field goals and over 130 PATs. He made game-winning kicks and was a part of countless big victories for the Baylor football program.

But when he’s done his work on the gridiron, his responsibilities shift to diaper
duty as Hankins and his wife have a newborn at home, a part of Hankins’ life that is made easier thanks to his partnership with GXG Elite and the support of their donors.

Learn more about what GXG has meant to Isaiah, his family and
his faith during his time in Waco. (Link to video)
