Baylor soccer falls short in defensive battle against Texas Tech, 1-0
By Nate Maki | Sports Writer
Hoping to end their streak of ties, Baylor soccer took a trip to Lubbock to square off with Texas Tech on Thursday night at the John Walker Complex. Facing a stalwart defense, the Bears lost the tight matchup, 1-0.
The first half was relatively slow-paced, with around 31 throw-ins dragging out the clock and keeping both teams from gaining much momentum. Junior goalkeeper Azul Alvarez was only tested twice by the Red Raiders (10-2-1, 5-01 Big 12), in the 24th and 29th minutes. The Bears (6-5-3, 1-3-2 Big 12) failed to put in a single shot on goal, leading to a blank scoreboard at halftime.
