The current team is just starting their season and this was their first scrimmage. I felt bad for the alumni because most haven't touched a stick in months. 
Still, the alumni jumped out to a 3-0 lead. By halftime the score was even at 4-4. The alumni came back late in the game to tie it at 8-8.
Among the cheering fans on the sideline were Sheay (one of Kelly's current roommates) and some friends who also went to Baylor. 
It was a very entertaining game. The alums were a bit winded but they kept firing at the net and making goals! The refs were talking about overtime and the alumni put a stop to that! They were happy with an injury-free tie game.
Afterwards the Lady Bears passed out game shirts to everyone and all posed for a group photo.
Then the alums wanted one of their own.
Later we joined quite a few of the girls and their families and friends at Crickets, a bar and restuarant in downtown Waco. Since it was Homecoming Weekend and the football game was over (Oklahoma State beat Baylor 34-7) most places were crowded.
After dinner we took a driving tour of the campus. They have done a lot of building over the last few years and Baylor is striving to become a top tier university. It is a beautiful campus. One of the hot spots on campus is Common Grounds. 
It is an amazing coffee shop on campus. We stopped there before we started out on the 2 hour drive back to Dallas.We took Kelly home, spoke a little with her roommate Meesh and went back out to our campsite at East Fork Park, near Wylie. That concludes another post in the Roadrunner Chronicles. Thanks for viewing.
Thanks for the tour and pics of Baylor - looks like everyone had a great day.
