By Ben Everett | Sports Editor

No. 2-seeded Baylor soccer defeated No. 3-seeded Virginia 2-1 on Sunday night at Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field.

A year ago, the Bears advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history. On Sunday, Baylor clinched a spot in the Elite Eight for the second consecutive season. Head coach Paul Jobson said the Bears have come a long way since he’s been a part of the program.

“It hasn’t really [sunk in],” Jobson said. “It’s pretty incredible where we started here 11 years ago, how far this program has come and the support we’ve gotten from Baylor University, and this community has been something really special.
