Baylor faces federal Title IX investigation GAVIN PUGH Digital Managing Editor The Department of Education opened a federal Title IX investigation of the university on Tuesday in response to complaints filed by Baylor’s former Title IX coordinator, Patty Crawford,

Baylor said it will cooperate fully with the investigation.

“An OCR [Office of Civil Rights] review of this nature results in a broad, comprehensive look at policies, procedures and practices for a specified number of years: in this case, from the fall of 2014 to the present. Interim President David

E. Garland immediately assured OCR the University will cooperate fully with the investigation,” Baylor Media Communications said in a press release.

Baylor was added to the list of 279 unresolved Title IX investigations following Crawford’s resignation and a summer of job terminations

and shifts among university staff.

Crawford spoke out against the university on “CBS This Morning” days after her resignation.

“I continued to work hard, and the harder I worked, the more resistance I received from senior leadership.

That became clear that that was not something the university wanted, and

in July, I made it clear and ready that I had concerns and that the university was violating Title IX, and my environment got worse,” Crawford said on CBS. Crawford also posted on Facebook scathing criticisms of

Treasurer discusses women’s history BAILEY BRAMMER Staff Writer When former U.S. Treasurer Rosa “Rosie” Gumataotao Rios looks back on her almost eightyear tenure in a position most only hold for 18-24 months, she had three words of advice for those interested in embracing women’s involvement in American history: recognition, connection and inspiration.

Rios spoke to Baylor students at the Paul L. Foster Campus for Business and Innovation Wednesday afternoon about her time as treasurer, as well as her efforts to place women on U.S. currency and her most recent initiative, Teachers Righting History.

“It is time to change the narrative,” Rios said.

“The only way we can go forward is to realize how this country was founded, why it was founded and hopefully learn from those lessons.”

Dr. Heidi Hornik, professor of art history, introduced Rios and had originally extended her the invitation to speak at Baylor. Hornik met Rios last year through her son, Michael Parsons, who attends Harvard University with Rios’ son.

“We’re both moms, and our sons are very good friends,” Hornik said. “They met last year as freshmen, and when it was Parents Weekend, the boys had arranged for us to all meet and have dinner.”

VIEWING PARTY Baylor students gather at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Waco Hippodrome Theatre to watch the third and final presidential debate. The nonpartisan event was sponsored by Baylor student government.

CANDIDATES Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton met Wednesday night in Las Vegas for the final presidential debate before Election Day.

Final Countdown

Students watch third presidential debate at Hippodrome MEGAN RULE Staff Writer Students packed the Waco Hippodrome Theatre Wednesday for the final round of presidential debates, which took place at 8 p.m. at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. Baylor Student Government put on a watch party at 7:30 p.m. at the Waco Hippodrome Theatre, followed by a

discussion afterward led by Baylor faculty.

“I’m most excited for this opportunity for students with different viewpoints to come together in this space,” said Lindsey Bacque, Baylor student body president.

“Having a space for students to come together and express themselves and meaningfully disagree, I think, is good.”

The Hippodrome Theatre was full of students supporting Donald Trump, Hillary

Clinton, and even Gary Johnson. Students were sitting in the aisles and were very involved throughout the entire debate, cheering for their respective candidates and groaning with points they disagreed with. Major points in the debate included discussion of the second amendment, abortion, border control, the economy,

Campus AirBear Wi-Fi outage planned for today BAILEY BRAMMER Staff Writer Scheduled maintenance to AirBear, the Baylor University Wi-Fi network, will occur from 6 to 10 p.m. today.

According to an email sent by Baylor Information Technology Services, students will most likely experience a disruption in the

network from 6 to 7 p.m., but testing will continue until 10 p.m.

Carl Flynn, director of marketing and communications for information technology and university libraries, said the purpose behind any outage has to do with safety or strengthening the network.

“We usually do these things for either security or stability,” Flynn said. “That’s the only reason we shut

things down like this.”

Vicky Gerik, assistant vice president for client services at Baylor ITS, said the reason for tonight’s outage is to upgrade wireless routers that will affect AirBear.

While students’ personal devices will experience disruptions during the testing, there are computers on campus that will be unaffected.

“Any computer or device using a

wireless connection will be affected,” Gerik said. “If you’re using a computer in the library, you’re on the Baylor Network, and the outage will not affect that.”

With fall break beginning Thursday, students such as Waco freshman Margaret Klausmeyer find the outage scheduling for this time to be a convenience because a majority of students will not be on campus this

weekend.

“I don’t think a lot of people will be here. All my friends are going home before 5 p.m.,” Klausmeyer said.

Dallas freshman Grace Gunnin said she agrees that most students may not be affected by the testing,

Fuzzy Friends Rescue to hold zombie run MEGAN RULE Staff Writer The fourth annual Fuzzy Friends Rescue Zombie Run will take off at 5 p.m. Saturday in downtown Waco. The event will help Fuzzy Friends Rescue with their purpose of providing shelter, food and medical treatment to animals.

“I’m excited for the turnout,” said Denise Gay, race director and volunteer with Fuzzy Friends Rescue.

“I’m very pleased that we will have a big turnout in the community to support Fuzzy Friends Rescue.

Animals don’t have a voice, and we, as humans, are their voice.”

According to Gay, this is the Vol. 117 No. 29

shelter’s largest race ever with over 300 participants already signed up.

Betsy Robinson, founder and executive director of Fuzzy Friends Rescue, said there have been animal support runs for a number of years, but after hearing the idea of themed runs taking place across the country, the shelter decided to participate. The event includes a 1K pet walk and a 5K run, as well as contests for best dog zombie costume, dog with the “waggiest” tail and best dog trick.

There are also prizes for the best human zombie costume and medals for the top three runners in each age group, as well as an Academy

GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?

COLUMN

We want to hear it. Send us your thoughts: LariatLetters@baylor.edu EDITORIAL

It is not a sin to grieve JOY MOTON Reporter On July 1, 2014, my friend, Joseph Alaniz, was killed in a car accident. High school graduation was less than a month before and everyone’s excitement for the next chapter of our lives was immediately extinguished.

The morning the news spread was painfully traumatic, I remember going to Joseph’s house and seeing my friends sitting on the sides of the street sobbing in disbelief at the loss of our dear friend.

It is a memory that will be engraved in my mind for the rest of my life, and one that I do not like to visit often.

The recent loss of Minnesota sophomore David Grotberg in a hit-and-run bicycle accident brought that horrific memory back to my mind.

When I read the email about David’s passing, I immediately recalled the text message I woke up to saying Joseph was gone. Although I didn’t know David, my heart hurt for his family, friends, professors and even acquaintances who may have encountered him. I can tell he was special from the lives he touched through all he was involved in, just like my friend that I lost two years ago.

As a Christian, I have come to accept that I will never have the luxury of being able to understand why God allows certain things to happen. Why does cancer exist? Why does racism seem to prevail? Why are Clinton and Trump our presidential candidates? However, the death of young people is by far the hardest thing for me to merely accept with peace. I do not think anyone can hear about the death of someone who had their whole life ahead of them with a light heart.

So, as a Christian university, how do we address something we cannot explain? Do we merely give our condolences and act as if God had nothing to do with it? Or do we try to give encouragement by shoving Scriptures down the throats of grieving people?

One of the things I regret most about the day I heard about Joseph’s passing is the way I immediately combated the outcries against Christianity. My Twitter feed was constantly flooded with tweets questioning God’s character: “How can you believe in a God who would let this happen?” “Stuff like this is really what makes me even question the point of Christianity.” I reacted by doing more harm than good. I tried to take a stand for my faith, but I ended up attacking those hurt and broken friends for being emotional. In the words of my father, “You can’t ask someone to stop bleeding when they’ve been cut.”

I do not have an explanation for why tragedies occur, and I have no standing to be the mouthpiece of God. I don’t have the perfect Christian response to tragedies. All I can suggest is that we allow people to bleed. Hurting is not a sin. I am not proposing that we don’t recommend Scripture and pray for victims to heal with time.

I am simply saying: be human with them for a moment. Enter into their grief with them.

The intention of this article is not to give a “How To” on how to interact with victims of a tragedy. My hope is that people will simply avoid the mistake I made in trying to tell my friends and acquaintances how to grieve. Contrary to modern belief, God does not need a lawyer or PR rep. It’s not our job to explain or justify the actions of God. As humans and children of God, it is our responsibility to demonstrate that we are relatable and able to listen.

To anyone who is grieving the loss of David Grotberg, I understand your hurt firsthand. If I had to recommend a Scripture in this moment, it would be John 11:28-37. Jesus was deeply moved by the grief of the people, and he wept with them when he saw the body of Lazarus. His heart was broken by the death of his friend and the pain that it caused others. Jesus was authentic enough to enter into the mourning of others and as an extension of Christ I am, in this time of mourning, with you. You are not alone in your grieving. To be human is to be confused and angry with God sometimes. We are all human, and it is OK to bleed when you’ve been cut.

Break the student-athlete divide Student-athletes aren’t your everyday students; they don’t keep traditional schedules and they certainly aren’t held to the same standards as the rest of the student body. They often have more on their plates, both metaphorically and physically, and unlike most students, their extracurricular activities tend to dictate the rest of their daily lives. No, studentathletes are far from normal, but the divide between athletes and traditional students at Baylor seems to be continually growing, perpetuated by privileges and rules that apply only to student-athletes, effectively isolating them from the rest of the student body. While this may be commonplace among collegiate athletes, there is a thin line between helping student-athletes succeed and separating them from the student body, and Baylor should be careful not to cross it.

We all watched throughout the summer as Baylor came under fire not only for its apparent mishandling of sexual assault cases, but also for its insulation of studentathletes against disciplinary action for misconduct. Pepper Hamilton, the independent law firm hired to investigate Baylor’s Title IX practices and disputed cases, conducted an investigation that revealed “significant concerns about the tone and culture within Baylor’s football program as it relates to accountability for all forms of athlete misconduct” and raised the question of whether Baylor’s athletic department was fostering a cultural perception of athletes being above the rules, according to the Baylor University Board of Regents “Findings of Fact.”

While the university has made progress implementing Pepper Hamilton’s 105 recommendations, it seems to still be placing athletes in an entirely separate category from traditional students in a time when it is especially important to remember that athletes are only be a subset of, not separate from or better than, the larger student population.

In a recent rule change, student-athletes who test positive on drug tests administered by the NCAA, the Big 12 Conference or Baylor’s athletic department will no longer be subject to university discipline. All disciplinary actions will now be handled internally, and student-athletes will not face Baylor’s standard punishments for students caught using illegal drugs.

According to the Baylor Athletics Substance Abuse Testing Policy, “The university will not pursue disciplinary charges by the Office of Student

Conduct Administration (Judicial Affairs) in situations in which either illegal or performance-enhancing drugs are discovered through drug testing…”

Baylor’s general policy forbids the use, purchase, manufacture or selling of any illegal drugs, and “anyone violating these policies is subject to disciplinary action ranging from warning to expulsion,” according to Baylor’s Policy Statement on Alcohol and Other Drugs.

Instead of facing these consequences in addition to their athletic consequences, as has been the case previously, all disciplinary action for studentathletes will now be handled internally, and they will not face Baylor’s standard punishments for students caught using illegal drugs.

Translation: Athletes will be subject to athletic discipline and exempt from university discipline.

The power of a positive influence NATHAN KIEL Sports Writer We all have people in our lives who have greatly influenced us. We have people who have invested in us and encouraged us when we seemed lost along the road. We have people who have pushed us to take a deeper look into our own lives and forced us to examine the hard questions of life such as who am I, and what is my purpose?

Those individuals may be our parents, our grandparents. They might be a friend we had growing up or an older sibling. They might be the pastor at our church or a teacher who knew the right buttons to push.

As a former athlete, some of the most influential people in my life have been my coaches. They taught me the fundamentals of the sports I played, but they also taught me how to handle game-time situations and how to cope with the results of those contests, regardless of what the result was.

But there was more to the coach-player relationship than that, and I believe that there still is. I think that coaches have the ability and the authority to be able to

Perhaps the consequences of student-athletes testing positive for illegal drugs will be handled at the NCAA or conference level. We can only hope that this will be kept out of Baylor’s hands as much as possible, because isn’t internalizing the handling of misconduct cases one of the reasons Baylor was in such hot water over the summer?

The Board of Regents’ “Finding of Fact” from the Pepper Hamilton report states, “Athletics personnel failed to recognize the conflict of interest in roles and risk to campus safety by insulating athletes from student conduct processes.”

Does this not also represent a conflict of interest? Yes, student-athletes who test positive for illegal drugs will still face consequences such as being suspended from play or even permanently removed from their team in the case of severe or repeated violations, but it seems as though this policy change gives Baylor’s athletics department too much room to “insulate” their athletes, despite the fact that Baylor spent the whole summer reeling from the effects of the same.

Baylor needs to be careful how closely it toes the line between helping studentathletes succeed in school and athletics and putting those athletes on a pedestal, above and separate from the rest of the student body. Studentathletes lead a different lifestyle than other students, but Baylor should remember that only a small percentage if its studentathletes will play their sport professionally post-graduation, and insulating student-athletes during their college years isn’t doing them any favors.

dramatically impact the life of athletes in more ways than producing athletic results and accomplishments. Coaches are given a platform in which to guide and mentor athletes to become better on the court or field of play, but more importantly, they have the ability to help them become better people in society.

In August 2013, I began coaching middle school girls volleyball at a charter school in East Los Angeles. At first, I thought it seemed like an excellent opportunity to engage with this new culture I had recently moved into. I knew that I didn’t have much experience coaching or playing volleyball, so I had just as much to learn about the game as they did. I quickly learned that for many of them, it wasn’t about the game or the skills they had or lacked. It was about finding a place to be accepted and where they could enjoy being with one another. Over the course of time, they began to develop and enhance their skills and transform those skills into a successful season on the court.

Not every season ends with a championship or a feel-good story. Not every coach-athlete relationship is easy.

At times, coaches and players butt heads and will not always agree with a play call or a decision. I know at times, I hated my coaches. They expected me to rise up and be a leader that the rest of the team could

look to. At times, I was stubborn enough to fight them because I didn’t believe that I was capable of what they were asking of me, so I didn’t give my best effort — as an athlete or as a person. I saw this in my players in L.A., and I see it in my volleyball players at Live Oak Classical School. They have so much potential and leadership capabilities.

They might just not know it yet. One of the hardest lessons I learned is that no matter how hard I pushed my players or students, I may never see the fruits of my deeds.

As I have gotten older, I think I’ve gotten wiser. I still communicate with two of my former coaches from time to time, and I always make sure to thank them for the time they invested in my life, and I promise them that I will do the same with the students and athletes that I work with today. You may not be into athletics. You may be into music or literature or film. Whatever your passion is, someone has most likely come beside you at one point or another to encourage you when you needed it, to challenge you when you could do better and congratulate you on a job well done. I hope that whoever that person may be, whether a coach, teacher, friend or relative, you thank them for the investment they have made in you, and I hope that you will make that investment in someone else as well.

TREASURER from Page 1 Rios’ speech at Baylor is the first public lecture given by the former treasurer since her resignation last July.

“When I thought about the outstanding invitations that I had, I looked a little closer at Baylor,” Rios said. “What I have read about, and what I certainly have learned in the last few days, is the importance of community and the importance of faith [at Baylor].”

In the midst of the financial crisis of 2008, Rios was selected as one of 23 members of the Treasury/Federal Reserve Transition Team.

From there, Rios was recommended for permanent appointment and then nominated

by President Barack Obama in May 2009 as U.S. treasurer.

During her time spent on the Treasury/ Federal Reserve Transition Team, Rios said she took a particular interest in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and came to realize that there were no women depicted on U.S. currency that were not allegorical.

“As I’m looking through [the currency], what I found so striking was that every single image that I came across of a woman was not a real woman,” Rios said. “They were all allegorical, and I just found that was odd ...

That was how women were represented. Yet, every image of a man was a real man.”

With this discovery in mind, Rios took it upon herself to ensure that the next redesign of U.S. currency would include prominent women in American history.

Harriet Tubman will be the new face of the $20 bill, and similar changes will be made to the $5 and $10 bills in 2020, which marks the 100 year anniversary of the 19th Amendment.

Shreveport, La., sophomore Sara Beth Burch believes that Rios’ efforts to remember women’s role in U.S. history is something to celebrate.

“I think it’s very important for women to realize they did have a place in history, and they do have a place in history,” Burch said.

“I’m so glad that we are now putting women on currency because it shows young women, and boys, that we really were there.”

Since her resignation, Rios has launched an initiative entitled Teachers Righting History, with the goal of bringing attention to prevalent American women and their role in history in high school classrooms across the country.

“Maybe [this generation] has realized that you need to go back sometimes in order to go froward,” Rios said. “Maybe you have realized that our country is not about ‘his story’ or ‘her story’ but ‘our story.’”

SPREADING THE WORD Former U.S. Treasurer Rosa “Rosie” Gumataotao Rios speaks Wednesday at Paul L. Foster Campus for Business and Innovation about her time as treasurer and her work promoting women’s history.

DEBATE from Page 1 foreign hotspots and the national debt. Both candidates spoke over each other, and the debate was filled with personal jabs.

When asked if he would accept the results of the election, Trump said, “I will tell you at the time. I’ll keep you in suspense.” Later in the debate, Clinton rebutted with saying, “You are the most dangerous person to run for president in the history of modern America.”

The debrief following the debate was led by Dr. Patrick Flavin and Dr. Rebecca McCumbers Flavin of the department of political science at Baylor. Bacque said she was excited to see how this discussion would turn out.

“The moderator did an excellent job in that the questions he asked pushed the candidates

and allowed them to talk with one another,” Dr. Patrick Flavin said. “It was a useful job he did.”

The debrief began with general impressions of the debate and things the professors saw and were interested in. Dr. Rebecca Flavin said one of the things she likes to do is look at the fact checkers during the debates to get a sense of opinions across the country. This helped her to answer the questions students tweeted to her.

“In the United States, we believe elections are how we decide our disagreements,” Flavin said. “Part of that means if you lose, even after a gut-wrenching campaign, you accept that result, even if you have to concede. It says a lot about what our system is about.”

They then answered questions that students

tweeted to them. Among these were opinions on certain aspects of the debate focusing in on Clinton’s hypocritical comments about gun control and abortion, the “nastiness” of this election and questions about the potential of a third candidate making ground. In order to put the second question into perspective, Dr. Rebecca Flavin asked the crowd who their favorite president was, and when the majority answered Lincoln, she spoke of how he wasn’t particularly liked until his death.

“Elections have always been particularly nasty, and we just happen to remember the most recent one vividly,” Rebecca Flavin said.

“Presidential elections do tend to produce some extreme rhetoric.”

According to Bacque, external vice president Amye Dickerson was in charge of the event, and Baylor Student Government worked with other student groups to host an event where students could come together to watch the debate and be informed when they go to vote in November. The Hippodrome event included snacks and drinks for everyone with a Baylor ID, a photo booth and a debrief and discussion of the biggest topics in the debate.

“We’re very excited to work with Baylor for everything that we do,” said Mark Gillham, general manager of the Hippodrome Theatre.

“We enjoy working with the university on anything we can do.”

“It’s the theme that distinguishes our run from the other runs. It makes it unique and different,” Robinson said. “So, we encourage people to dress up like zombies, and those that are doing the 1K pet walk to dress their dogs up like zombies also.”

Fuzzy Friends Rescue will continue to take registration the day of the event starting at 4 p.m.

Packet pickup will be from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Friday at Spice Village. The 5K will start at 5 p.m., and the 1K pet walk will start at 5:10 p.m.

“It’s a fun event for folks to bring their dogs to participate, and it’s a fun family event too,” Robinson said. “It’s a fun event to bring awareness to the community for the lovely animals in Waco that deserve the second chance to be adopted.”

In addition to this zombie run, Fuzzy Friends Rescue also does a style show in the spring and a “Barkin’ Ball” on New Year’s Eve as fundraisers.

Along with the run and walk, there will be fitness vendors and pet supply vendors at the race.

Coca Cola is the official beverage sponsor, and there will also be chili cheese dogs while supplies last, Robinson said. Gay said there is a lot of support from the local radio and television stations, and people walking around downtown usually stop by to see what’s happening.

rigorous assessment, the results of which were shared publicly in May 2016, and we have committed to implementing the recommendations from the Pepper Hamilton investigation adopted by the Board of Regents in May,” the press release stated.

The Pepper Hamilton investigation has since been questioned in a report

by KWTX. “Multiple sources said they believe the law firm came to Waco with the

agenda of purging members of the football staff,” KWTX reported.

The Pepper Hamilton report has not been made available to the public, which prompted former president Ken Starr’s resignation as chancellor.

“I reached the stage, tentatively … that in conscience I had to resign — to my sorrow — so I could speak out freely and call for transparency,” Starr told the Lariat in a June interview.

TITLE IX from Page 1 Baylor’s administration and “senior leaders.”

“It’s not about me, or my job, it’s about discrimination…it’s about BAYLOR. It’s about a handful PEOPLE [sic] that actually run Baylor that hate that the work of the Title IX Office (not me, but the amazing team collectively making change) was EFFECTIVE,” Crawford wrote.

Crawford has since deleted the Facebook post.

Baylor is also facing a lawsuit

filed by former students who claimed the university failed to properly handle their sexual assault cases.

A motion was made on Oct. 12 by Jasmin Hernandez to again add former athletic director Ian McCaw and former head football coach Art Briles to the suit.

Museum shows 25 for 25

This week in Waco:

SETH JONES Reporter The Texas Photographic Society is displaying its international competition, The TPS 25, at Baylor’s Martin Museum of Art. TPS received artist submissions from multiple countries across the globe, but only works from the United States and Canada are showcased in the exhibit.

The competition features photographs from 25 different artists as a way for the TPS to celebrate its 25th anniversary of the annual competition.

Allison Syltie, director of the

The competition includes many photographs that were created through different printing processes, some of which date back to the late 1800’s.

Martin Museum of Art, said she admires the broad range of subject matter and recognizes that the competition has something for everyone.

“There’s so much to look at in here, so many different types of photography, that someone will surely find something they really like in here,” Syltie said.

Jennifer Spry, educational coordinator for the Martin Museum of Art, said she agrees with Syltie in that the exhibit’s variety creates a unique display for visitors that many exhibits lack.

SO MANY SIGHTS TO SEE The Martin Museum of Art is holding the TPS 25 exhibit, where 25 different artists’ work is showcased. Having 25 artists was a way to celebrate The Texas Photographic Society’s 25th anniversary.

laboratory to be able to see works from 25 different people at one time that they can come in and talk about,” Spry said.

Spry also added that she sees the exhibition as an opportunity for students to see that artists can make a living doing what they love and produce something to be proud of.

“It’s always great for our students to have an opportunity to see contemporary artists who are living and breathing and surviving,” Spry said.

The museum is located on Baylor’s campus in the HooperSchaefer Fine Arts Center where many students majoring in art have classes. Spry said she feels this gives photography professors a great platform to show their students a

range of different styles and subjects within the display.

“This does help to really feed into the photography classes that they offer here in the department of art,” Spry said. “[Professors] are really interested in how they can show students the different processes and different perspectives.”

The competition includes many photographs that were created through different printing processes, some of which date back to the late 1800’s. One example is the gelatin silver process, which is a fairly primitive form of photography that dates back to the 1880’s.

Michael Darough, an assistant professor of art photography at Baylor, said he certainly views the exhibit as a chance to show his

students some of what they learn in class, along with some things they don’t, in the real art world.

“I’ll take my students there, and we will look at different processes.

Some of them we do in class, some of them we don’t, but it opens up the conversation about the processes as well as the different subject matter in the image,” Darough said.

The exhibit will be on display until Nov. 13. The museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The Martin Museum of Art is free and open to the public.

SCOREBOARD >> @BaylorVB 3, Iowa State 2

BaylorLariat.com

Soccer to close out regular season NATHAN KEIL Sports Writer Timely goals, a consistent defense and strong team chemistry have helped guide the Baylor soccer team to a 11-4-1 mark on the season. This consistent play week in and week out earned it a spot at No. 24 on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America’s Top 25 heading into the final weekend of the regular season.

This national recognition does require an additional amount of focus in order to keep it from becoming a distraction for the team, and that is something that head coach Paul Jobson and his staff try to instill within his players.

“We talk a lot about insiders and outsiders. Our small core family of insiders is our team, and our staff and everybody else are outsiders,” Jobson said. “We have to teach them who to talk to and who to listen to. We need to know how to handle it, so those are things that we talk about on a regular basis. It can be taken away a lot faster than it took us to get there, so we have to focus on what got us there.”

With the regular season coming to a close and the conference tournament looming just two weeks away, sophomore midfielder Sarah King continues to keep her focus on the task of this upcoming weekend as the Bears look to finish the regular season on top.

“As a team, we try not to look too far into the rankings,” King said.

“We just try to focus on getting better each week, but as we get closer to the Big 12 tournament and the NCAA tournament, we do hope to get some big wins this weekend.”

Up first for Baylor is the Iowa State Cyclones on Friday. The Cyclones are coming off a 1-0 loss in overtime to Drake University on Tuesday night

and enter the match 8-6-1 overall and 2-3-1 in the Big 12. The Cyclones are led by freshman midfielder Hannah Cade who has had three goals while sophomore forward Kasey Medelberg, senior forward Koree Willer and freshman forward Tegan

Alexander have each scored twice on the season.

“Tony [Minatta] has done a great job with that program. As far as we’re concerned, Iowa State has always been a team that is competitive and tough.

They always seemed to be unlucky at

times,” Jobson said. “They’re a tough, tough team. They always have been.

This year, they’ve kind of gotten over that hump a little bit to where they’re having some success and getting some good results on the road.”

The Cyclones might welcome the

change in scenery after losing three of their more recent five home matches.

They have actually faired better away from home, posting a 4-2 road record.

Even though the Cyclones lost to Drake in their most recent match, they outshot the Bulldogs 23-8, so the Bears’ defense will be on high alert. One of the those Bears that will be expected to step up and be that defensive leader is senior defender Lindsay Burns.

“Lindsay is our rock. She is really an anchor back there, definitely a presence for our defense,” King said.

“She is a great leader on the field and off the field. She’s a very important part of the team. She just gets the job done, and she’s so consistent.”

The Bears hope that the Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field will continue to provide the extra advantage they needs as they are 5-0-1 in home games this season. Baylor will look to extend its three-game winning streak this weekend with wins over Iowa State on Friday and the Kansas Jayhawks on Sunday and hope to keep momentum going into the Big 12 tournament.

“If you’re looking for a time for momentum, right now is a good time to have it. We’re obviously really proud of the team and the way they’ve performed the last three games for sure,” Jobson said. “It’s about what we’re doing today to get ready for our next match, and that is Iowa State over the weekend. One of the reasons I think we have had success is because we are taking it one day at a time and one match a time. There’s no reason to change that. If it’s working, let’s stay with that and see how far it can get us.”

The match against Iowa State will begin at 7 p.m. on Friday, and the final match of the regular season against Kansas will start at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
