DES MOINES, IOWA -- The Drake University women's soccer team lost a closely-contested match to No. 21 Baylor, 1-0, in overtime on Friday night at Cownie Soccer Complex. Baylor's Camryn Wendlandt headed home the deciding goal in the 95th minute off an assist from Kylie Ross.

"I think everyone saw a glimpse of our team's potential tonight," head coach Lindsey Horner said. "Our individual performances and willingness to work for the player next to us was tremendous."

The Bulldogs' defense routinely rejected relentless attacks from the Lady Bears, and junior goalkeeper Kelsie Stone stopped a season-best nine shots. Stone, a second-team All-MVC selection in 2018, made a remarkable save in the 27th minute when she fully extended to tap a Baylor strike just over the top-right corner of the bar. Midfielders Vanessa Kavan and Cassie Rohan were all over the field defending advances by the Lady Bears. The duo disrupted numerous Baylor passes, helping to thwart 20 of the Lady Bears' 21 shot attempts.

"To hold Baylor scoreless through regulation says a lot about how far our back line has come," Horner said. "We had to be physical, brave, organized, and technically sound in defending our box. We were really disappointed in our performance after Denver, yet equally proud of the team tonight."

Drake's attack generated six shots and two corner kick opportunities. Hannah Bormann and Erika Townley each put a shot on goal for the Bulldogs.

Drake (0-3-0) travels to Missouri to take on the Saint Louis Billikens on Sunday, Sept. 1 at 1 p.m.

"Losing in overtime is both physically and emotionally draining," Horner said. "Our Saint Louis game will come quick. Our challenge is building on the standard our players set for themselves tonight and to do so on tired legs."
