Baylor soccer earned a 2-1 win over No. 22 Oklahoma on Friday evening at OU Soccer Complex. The Bears (9-4-1, 2-1-1) received stellar efforts by Sarah King and Julie James as both played a part in both goals that toppled the Sooners (10-4-1, 3-2-0).

In the seventh minute, King executed a quick throw-in from the left corner in OU territory to Julie James, who fired a shot in the box from the left wing that was deflected by the goalkeeper. Fortunately, Raegan Padgett was there to poke in the rebound for a 1-0 lead.

The Sooners responded quickly with a goal in the 10th minute by Liz Keester, and the 1-1 score stood until the 71st minute. Off a BU corner kick by Ashley York, James had the first touch in the box and passed to King for the game-winner in front of the net.
