THE RUNDOWN
WACO, Texas – Baylor soccer defeated UCF, 2-1, Sunday afternoon at the UCF Soccer and Track Complex.

Just under three minutes later, UCF capitalized with a goal of its own and knotted the game at 1-1.

BU ended the first half with the slight 7-6 shot advantage, with five different Bears taking shots.
