After having trouble scoring on the road for the last two weeks, the Baylor soccer team couldn’t wait to start burying shots at Betty Lou Mays Field.

With Julie James and Jackie Crowther leading the way with a pair of goals apiece, the Bears scored early and late as they pounded former Big 12 rival Nebraska, 6-0, on a breezy Sunday night.

The six goals were more than the four the Bears scored in three road games since their last home game, a 6-1 win over Samford on Aug. 19. Baylor (4-2) dropped two of the three road games, including Friday’s 3-2 loss to Arkansas in Fayetteville.

“After being on the road for a couple games, it’s always nice to be home, back on Betty Lou, sleeping in our own beds,” Crowther said. “It’s a great feeling to be at home on our own turf, to defend it, and to put it away. Every game, we’re trying to figure out a little more about who we are and what we’re about this season, so I think tonight was a good testament to what we’re going to continue to do.”

Baylor coach Paul Jobson was elated to see the Bears play so aggressively against a traditionally strong soccer program.
