Baylor vs. SMU

Feb. 25, 2008

The Baylor Men’s Lacrosse Team suffered its first conference loss Saturday but achieved a moral victory against the heavily favored SMU Lacrosse team. Despite being 11 point underdogs the Baylor Bears were able to control the lead for most of the game and shut down the Mustangs vaunted offense. Unbelievable play by Sophomore Goalie Matthew McPheeters denied the goal to the many shots of the SMU team. The Bear’s Defense played a solid game keeping SMU scoreless until late into the 2^nd quarter and keeping the ball on the offensive side of the field with efficient clears. Senior Andrew Brochu and Freshman Luke Whyte were able to lead the offense to hard fought goals against a tough SMU defense. Despite holding the lead late into the 4^th quarter numbers, fortune, and penalties took their toll as SMU took the lead with 2 minutes remaining to win 8-6. Despite the loss the game proves that the Baylor team playing at their best can compete against any team the LSA has to offer. The Bear’s fresh off this tough loss look forward to playing in the Carolinas next week.
