The Baylor Red Raiders will take on the Rome Wolves in a tournament on Saturday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Baylor was handed a three-goal loss in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Friday. Their defense stepped up to hand Varsity Opponent a 1-0 shutout.
Meanwhile, Rome's game on Friday was all tied up 0-0 at the half, but sadly for them it didn't stay that way. They fell just short of Foley by a score of 1-0. While losing is never fun, Rome can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' soccer rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 103rd in Georgia, while Foley are ranked 26th in Alabama).
Rome's defeat dropped their record down to 7-4-1. As for Baylor, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That somehow still isn't as good as their 5-1-1 record this season.
