St. Bonaventure women's soccer is set to play a pair of games in Texas, first traveling to Waco to take on Baylor before heading to Lubbock to face off with Texas Tech. The Bonnies opened the 2024 season on Thursday at Buffalo where a late goal lifted the Bulls over Bona's, 1-0. 
 
NEW OPPONENTS
St. Bonaventure has never played against either the Bears or the Red Raiders in women's soccer. 
 
Baylor is coming off a 9-7-3 record in 2023 after losing to Cincinnati in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament. Baylor was picked ninth in the Big 12 preseason poll and had one preseason All-Big 12 selection in Tyler Isgrig who scored six goals and tallied a team-high nine assists in 2023. 
 
The Bears opened their season at No. 18 Mississippi State this week. The Bears dropped a 1-0 decision after Mississippi State scored in the third minute for the deciding tally. 
 
Texas Tech enters Thursday's matchup ranked eighth nationally after a Big 12 Championship in 2023 and a trip to the Round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament. 
 
The Red Raiders were selected to finish second in the Big 12 preseason poll, receiving six of 16 first-place votes. Texas Tech also has three Preseason All-America selections. 
 
No. 4 Penn State proved too much for the Red Raiders in the season opener, earning a 4-0 win. 
 
DEBUTANTES 
St. Bonaventure had 11 different players make their debut with the Bonnies in the season opener at Buffalo. Seven true freshmen made their collegiate debuts in the lid-lifter, including Mahelie Barbeau, Ella Yartym, Maya Marolly, Evie Underhill, Ekemini Udofa and Torrie Grant-Clavijo. 
 
Jael Schubert, Thea Juul and Mika Marolly all made their first appearance in the Brown and White after transferring into the program this season. 
Sophomores Juliana Castellano and Lily Ma also made their first appearances for the Bonnies at Buffalo. 
 
LONG HAUL
This will serve as the Bonnies longest trip of the season, spanning over 1,500 miles from St. Bonaventure, N.Y. to Lubbock, Texas.
 
UP NEXT
After the two-game trip to Texas, the Bonnies return to New York for their home-opener against Binghamton Aug. 25.
