MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – No. 16 West Virginia had never lost a home Big 12 match in six-plus seasons, but its failure to clear a free kick ricocheting in the box led to a golden goal by No. 24 Baylor and a 1-0 upset Friday night.

In the 95th minute Camryn Wendlandt buried her shot in the left corner, only the second shot on goal all night for the Bears (10-4, 3-1).

West Virginia (7-3-3, 3-1), unbeaten in 40 consecutive home conference matches dating back a decade to its Big East days, had gone 24-0-2 all-time in Big 12 home matches.
