The Baylor girls soccer team celebrated their fourth senior soccer player going to play at the next level. Senior Melissa Oliveira signed with NCAA DII University of Texas at Tyler.

Oliveira is a three year boarder from Rio, Brazil. She is a two time All-State player and  was a leader in the Red Raiders run to the state finals this year.

"I am very proud of this young lady and know she will do big things at Tyler," Head Coach Curtis Blair said. "She has been a joy to coach and she grew up watching and playing the game all her life.

She is now part of the Baylor Soccer family and will always be."
