Baylor Women's Golf has released their 2012-2013 schedule, which includes eight out-of-state tournaments in places such as Los Angeles and New Orleans. Baylor Golf brings in a very strong team coming off the program's best year, including Hayley Davis, who was honored as Baylor's first-ever All-American in the sport last year.

Baylor Soccer was ranked 24th in the country in the NSCAA rankings released Tuesday. This is the Bears' first national Top 25 ranking since 1999, and was awarded on the merit of their strong 2-0 start. Baylor and Oklahoma State are the only two Big 12 programs represented in the poll.
