No. 17 Baylor women’s basketball snuck by with a 58-55 win over Southern Methodist University Tuesday night in the Ferrell Center. The Bears were up by 13 at the beginning of the fourth quarter and the Mustangs closed the gap to a one point with three minutes left.

But a big three-pointer from freshman forward Bella Fontleroy and some key buckets from junior guard Sarah Andrews, helped lift Baylor (3-0) to victory.

“I’m sure people are going to be frustrated with the score, and that’s OK,” head coach Nicki Collen said.
