No. 24 Baylor soccer dropped a 1-0 decision in double overtime to Iowa State on Friday evening at Betty Lou Mays Field. The Bears (11-5-1, 4-2-1) had plenty of chances but weren’t able to put away any goals as the Cyclones (9-6-1, 3-3-1) scored in the 103rd minute.
Baylor played an aggressive first half offensively, holding edges in shots (9-5) and shots on goal (5-3), but caught a couple bad breaks on shots that just missed or were saved on great efforts by ISU goalkeeper Lindsey Hendon.
In the second half neither team had much to show. However, in the first overtime period the Bears had a one-on-one shot with the keeper by Ashley York saved and then two straight shots that were blocked in traffic on back-to-back corner kicks near the end of the period.
In the second overtime, Iowa State had a good run by Hannah Cade in the 103rd minute and she dropped a nice lead pass to Klasey Medelberg for the finish from 14 yards out in the right side of the box to end the game.
