Final: Baylor 4, CPA 0
TSSAA DII-AA State Tournament – First Round
After a one-hour lightning delay, Baylor Soccer settled in and took care of business in the second half to advance past CPA in the opening round of the state tournament.
The match was scoreless at halftime, but the Red Raiders came alive after the break.
• 41' Carter Weekley opened the scoring off a cross from Luke Higgo.
• 47' Phin Ellison added the second, again assisted by Higgo.
• 53' Phil LaForge found the net off a pass from Heath Techasiriwan.
• 59' Jackson Bergmann capped the scoring, finishing a cross from Owen Bible.
Coach Curtis Blair praised the adjustments made after halftime: "In the first half we made too many bad decisions with the ball. Our decision making had to be better for us to be successful in this game. In the second half, we finally just started to make the game simple. Give credit to CPA and Coach Gerlach for making it difficult in the first half, but we must play better if we want to keep on advancing. I thought we were much better and our bench gave us a huge boost in the second half."
Next up: Baylor travels to Ensworth on Saturday for a noon (central time) quarterfinal matchup.
