Iowa State suffered its second conference loss of the weekend at home Sunday night, this time at the hands of Baylor by a final score of 2-0.

The Cyclones (6-7-1, 0-4 Big 12) showed strong defensive play in the first half with strong pressure from the Bears’ offense. At the half, Baylor held the advantage in shots over Iowa State by a margin of 10-2. ISU freshman goalkeeper Andrea Swanson had four saves after one half.

Iowa State started to reverse roles with Baylor seven and a half minutes into the second half, applying offensive pressure on the Baylor defense.

But Baylor was the first to score, taking the lead 1-0 at 13:28 minutes into the second half on a shot from Lisa Sliwinski.

Less than five minutes later, Baylor scored again, making the score 2-0 in what would end up being the final on a close-range goal from Alexa Wilde.

The loss to Baylor was the second straight time the Cyclones have been shutout at home after losing to No. 2 Oklahoma State on Friday night. ISU coach Wendy Dillinger was disappointed with how the team played in a game she felt should have been a Cyclone victory.

“If we had played tonight like we did Friday night, we would win,” Dillinger said. “We are just inconsistent. We come out and we play the best that we have played yet against the number two team in the country, and we come out today in a game that we know we have to win and we’re flat.”

Swanson played the full 90 minutes in the goal box for Iowa State and recorded six saves while allowing two goals. The freshman from Clive, Iowa, was not satisfied, however, with her play overall.

“I would say that [the game] is not successful unless we get a shutout,” Swanson said.

Iowa State will return to action Friday against Big 12 opponent Oklahoma. The game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in Norman, Okla.
