Piercy’s overtime goal wins Big 12 Tournament for Baylor | The Baylor Lariat, A year ago, Baylor soccer couldn’t quite close the deal against TCU in the Big 12 Tournament semifinal, letting the NCAA Tournament selection committee determine its fate.

On Sunday, Baylor refused to let someone else decide its fate this year.

After a late goal by the Horned Frogs tied the game at one and sent it to overtime, junior forward Lauren Piercy got behind the defense and slipped the golden goal past TCU sophomore goalkeeper Katie Lunt for the game-winner, stamping the Bears spot into next week’s NCAA Tournament with a 2-1 victory over the Horned Frogs.

Baylor head coach Paul Jobson said it will be a relief not having to keep his fingers crossed while he waits to find out who the Bears will play this week.

“I’m super excited to know that we’re in no matter what,” Jobson said. “We said, ‘You guys remember flash back to the talk we had before the season started, we said we didn’t want to leave it up to a committee to make a decision.’ And we did that.”

A favorite memory shared between all members of the team was getting to perform in the parade and watching performers from other countries.
