No. 15-ranked Baylor women’s soccer (2-0) took on the Samford Bulldogs (0-2) Sunday night at Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field in Waco where they defeated the Bulldogs 6-1.
After a one-and-a-half-hour long rain delay, the Lady Bears came out firing with junior forward Raegan Padgett scoring just 34 seconds in. Samford keeper Sarah Thorne came out to attempt a block, but Padgett ran right past her and rolled the ball in for the Bears’ first goal of the night.
Baylor head coach Paul Jobson said he has been through weather delays before and knew it was important that the Lady Bears not let that distract them from going on the pitch and performing to the best of their ability.
