WACO, Texas – No. 20 Baylor soccer is back at Betty Lou Mays Field, facing Iowa State on Thursday at 7 p.m. and Colorado on Sunday at 1 p.m. Both matches will stream on ESPN+.

The Bears (7-1-2, 2-1 Big 12) enter the match coming off an undefeated road trip to the Sunflower State, sweeping both No. 14 Kansas and Kansas State 3-0. Baylor has only fallen to one opponent this season, in their Big 12 opener against Texas Tech 1-0.

Iowa State (4-3-2, 1-2 Big 12) opened Big 12 play with a 1-0 win over Arizona, but have since dropped their last two matches to Colorado 3-1 and Texas Tech 2-0. The Cyclones will be facing their second ranked opponent of the season, previously falling to No. 11 Iowa 1-0.

Baylor and Iowa State are set to meet for the 33rd time in program history, with the Bears leading the all-time series 21-8-3. The last time the Cyclones earned a win in Waco was in 2016. Their most recent matchup ended in a 1-1 draw in Ames.
Colorado (8-1-2, 2-0-1 Big 12) will take on No. 8 TCU on Thursday before traveling south to face No. 20 Baylor on Sunday afternoon. The Buffs remain unbeaten in Big 12 play, opening with a 0-0 draw against Kansas State, followed by back-to-back wins over Iowa State (3-1) and Houston (1-0).

Colorado leads the all-time series against Baylor 7-6-4, with the most recent meeting ending in a 1-1 draw in Boulder. Sunday’s matchup marks the second meeting between the two programs during the Michelle Lenard era.

Baylor earned the No. 20 spot in the latest United Soccer Coaches poll, through matches played on Sept. 28. This marked the program’s first national ranking under head coach Michelle Lenard and the first for BU since the 2018 campaign. Colorado also received votes in the same poll, falling short of the top 25.
