WACO, Texas \u2013 The sixth-ranked Baylor soccer squad is back on the Banks of the Brazos on Sunday evening, hosting Texas State for the fourth time in the last three seasons at 7:30 p.m. The match features free admission and will be streamed live on ESPN+<\/a>.

\nThe Bears hit the pitch with their highest ranking in program history, breaking into the Week One Coaches Poll at No. 6 following defeats of then-No. 10 Arkansas and Texas A&M to open the 2026 season.
\n\u00a0
\nBaylor’s 2-0 start is the 14th in school history and the best in the Michelle Lenard<\/a> era. With a win, BU would achieve its first 3-0 start since 2012 and only eighth all-time.
\n\u00a0
\nSunday’s match is the ninth between the Bears and the Bearcats, having faced off three times already between 2024 and 2025, including a pair last season: a 4-1 win in non-conference play and a 3-0 win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Betty Lou Mays Field.
\n\u00a0

\nTexas State is fresh off its 3-2 defeat of Texas A&M in San Marcos in a 2-0-1 start to the year that also saw a win over UTRGV and a draw against UTSA. Victoria Beza leads the Bearcats with four goals off 14 shots and a game-winner versus Texas A&M.
\n\u00a0
\nBaylor’s Callie Conrad<\/a> was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week after scoring a pair of goals in the opening week off just two shots. Against Arkansas, the senior scored in the 56th minute for what turned out to be the game-winner before striking quickly in the home opener against Texas A&M in the seventh minute of action at Betty Lou Mays Field.
\n\u00a0
\nJoining Conrad, Lauren Omholt<\/a>, Olivia Hess<\/a>, Noelle Sather<\/a> and Grace White<\/a> have each found the back of the net in the first two matches of the season, while Theresa McCullough<\/a> and freshman Brynnlee Bohannon<\/a> lead the squad with two assists each.
\n\u00a0
\nSunday’s match is the back half of the home-opening two-match stand, before the Bears hit the road to play Texas in Austin next Thursday.
