THE RUNDOWN
FORT WORTH, Texas – Baylor has taken down No. 8 TCU to start the season 2-0. TCU has only lost to one other opponent this season before the Bears handed them their second loss.

The game started out with TCU getting off the first two shots before Mackenzie Anthony was able to get a shot off in the 9th minute. Following up quickly was Taylor Moon who had a good look on an assist from Maddie Algya and placed the ball in the goal to go up 1-0 in the 13th minute.

The rest of the first half fell silent for both teams with the Bears finishing the first half with only five shots to the Horned Frogs 10 but had the advantage into halftime.

The Bears came out in the second half with the same fight they had to start the game. Within five minutes of the second half Baylor was on the board again. After a shot from Anthony was saved by the TCU goalkeeper, a Baylor corner kick ended with a shot from Moon before the ball landed before Elizabeth Kooimnan. With her second goal this season, Kooiman blasted one into the upper right corner of the net to put the bears up 2-0l.

Holding the bears scoreless until the 83rd minute was goalkeeper Jennifer Wandt and the Baylor back line. Wandt recorded seven saves in the game setting a new season high. TCU got off six shots in the last 23 minutes with four of them being saved by Wandt. She also picked up career win No. 50 moving her to the sole position atop the Baylor all-time career saves category.

The two goals Baylor scored in today’s game is the most allowed by the Horned Frogs all season.
