THE RUNDOWN
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Baylor soccer fell against No. 22 Iowa, 3-0, Sunday night at the Iowa Soccer Complex.

Iowa was able to find the back of the net in the 57th minute to take the 1-0 lead.

After off target shots from Ava Colberg, Tyler Isgrig and Ashley Merrill, Isgrig almost gave BU the equalizer in the 84th minute when her shot went off the top woodwork barely missing the goal.
