WACO, Texas – Baylor scored goals early in the second half and late in the game, as the Bears defeated visiting HBU, 2-0, Sunday afternoon at Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field.

"I was extremely proud of the girls today," said head coach, Misty Jones. "The stats do not tell the whole story of the game. It was the first time since we have had the program that we were able to match the intensity of Baylor. Today showed how much we have matured and grown as a program. We still have a few pieces to put together, but I am very pleased with the effort this weekend."

Freshman Ellee Hall recorded HBU's (0-2-0) lone shot attempt, which was on target. Senior Ally Murphy and junior Blake Martin played all 90 minutes in the field. Senior Patty Walrath made three saves and allowed two goals between the pipes.

Justine Hovden led Baylor (2-0-0) with five shots, as she and Alexa Wilde had two shots on goal apiece. Michelle Kloss started in goal.  Sara Martinson earned the win as she played the second half and made one save.

There was no scoring as the teams entered halftime. Walrath made two saves in the opening frame.

Hovden got the Bears on the board in the 53^rd minute, as she ran down the right side and scored. Natalie Huggins gave Baylor some insurance with an unassisted tally in the 84^th minute, as the ball was deflected in the box and Huggins scooped it up and kicked it into the back of the net for a 2-0 lead.

HBU heads west next weekend to play New Mexico State Friday, Aug. 29 at 5 pm central. The Huskies end their road trip at UTEP Sunday, Aug. 31 at 2 pm central.
