In her first spring as head soccer coach at Baylor, Marci Jobson took the team’s usual spring scrimmages and added a little something extra: the chance to raise money for charity. Jobson created the Play for Hope Tournament, held last weekend at Betty Lou Mays Field. Baylor defeated Trinity, TCU and Texas State by identical […]
When head football coach Art Briles was hired last fall, much was made of his ability to turn around programs, going all the way back to his days in the high school ranks. Friday, the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame announced that Briles will be inducted into the Hall this May as part […]
Senior Angela Tisdale became the sixth Baylor player to be selected in the last seven years when the WNBA held its annual amateur player draft Wednesday night. Tisdale was the 33rd overall pick, going in the third round to the Chicago Sky. A 2007-08 All Big 12 first-team selection and a national player of the […]
A couple of months ago, we noted that Baylor had seven teams ranked in the top 25. That’s still true, but a new program has taken over the lead as Baylor’s highest-ranked program. Head coach Joey Scrivano has his women’s tennis squad ranked No. 4 in the country. In fact, the team has reached as […]

Congratulations once more to the Baylor men’s basketball team on the program’s best season in 20 years. The best part is that, looking ahead, this year shouldn’t be a fluke, but the beginning of a long stretch of success. Much of that has to do with the hard work of head coach Scott Drew and […]
When it comes to athletics, Baylor’s success across a host of sports has brought some nice publicity for the University. In particular this year, it has been the men’s basketball team’s winning ways that have earned positive press for Baylor nationwide. Earlier this season when the Bears broke into the national rankings, outlets like Sports […]
