🔺 Bear Down In H-Town. One thing is for sure, Ashley Merrill is making sure to make the most of every second she has left on the soccer field.

Merrill fired off two goals to help Baylor’s women’s soccer team win a 3-2 road contest in Houston to secure a spot in the upcoming 2023 Big 12 Tournament.

The Bears finished the regular season strong going 4-1-2 in the final seven matches. BU will be the 8th seed in the upcoming tournament and take on Cincinnati in the first round on Saturday.

Baylor’s nine wins this fall is the most in a season since the magical 20-win season in 2018.

🔺 Connect Four. Anytime you tie a school record, you know you had a good week.

That’s exactly what redshirt sophomore Isaiah Hankins did this past weekend in a career-best performance in BU’s 32-29 road win at Cincinnati.

The Little Rock, Ark. native connected on all four of his field goal attempts and added two PATs. He twice drilled kicks from 43 yards out, nailed a 46-yarder and hit a career-long 54-yard attempt in helping BU to its second road win of the season. His four field goals and 14 points scored were both career bests.

For his efforts, he was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week.

Hankins also tied a program record in becoming the ninth kicker to make four FGs in one game and the first since 2017.
