Baylor volleyball recently gave you a peek behind the curtain to what it really takes to be a Baylor Bear student-athlete.

🏈 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 17 DAYS

Surrounded by over 80,000 screaming fans, the Bears found them all tied at 14 with Oklahoma on a beautiful November afternoon last fall in Norman.

That’s when Baylor reeled off 10 straight points to take a 24-14 lead.

It was a lead that the Bears would never relinquish as anytime the Sooners thought about trying to get close, Baylor had an answer en route to a thrilling 38-35 road victory.

⏱ BEAR (COUNT)DOWN

ONE.MORE.DAY! That’s right folks.

We are ALMOST at the start of the 2023-2024 Baylor athletic calendar. The Baylor soccer squad kicks things off (literally) when they travel to Oregon to take on the Ducks, this Thursday, August 17th at 7 pm CST.
