LUBBOCK, Texas - Emily Fukuchi picked up a loose ball in front of the net and put it home for the game-winning goal in Baylor's 3-2 victory over Texas Tech in soccer action Sunday afternoon at R.P. Fuller Stadium.

Fukuchi's game-winner came at 73:33 of the match, and only 16 seconds after Tech's Lindsey Wile tied the match at two with a header past the diving Dawn Greathouse of Baylor.

The Bears scored the first two goals of the match, with Whitney Barrett heading in the first goal on an assist from Alyson Miles in the 12th minute. Ryan Lee then gave Baylor a 2-0 advantage just after halftime on an assist from Gina Castellano.

But the Red Raiders would not go quietly, as Marie Valdez headed in a corner kick from Kelly Taylor in the 53rd minute to make it 2-1. Wile's tying header came at 73:17 on an assist from Valdez.

Baylor attacked after Tech tied the match, and Fukuchi had a clear shot past Tech keeper Brittney Peese just 16 seconds later for the game-winner.

Tech falls to 0-5 all-time versus Baylor. The Red Raiders play at home twice next weekend, taking on Iowa State at 3 p.m. Friday before second-ranked Nebraska comes to town Sunday at 1 p.m.
