Last November, Baylor soccer was left out of the NCAA Tournament despite finishing third in the Big 12 Conference and compiling a 12-7-1 record in the regular season.
Teams below the Bears in the Big 12 standings such as Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and TCU received bids to compete for the national championship, but Baylor did not qualify.
Bears head coach Paul Jobson said the team is looking to add tougher opponents in the non-conference in order to build a stronger tournament resume.
“We tried to push the schedule a little bit harder this year,” Jobson said.
