- Sunday's match will be the first meeting all-time between Ohio State and Baylor.
- Ohio State is 11-16-1 all-time against teams currently in the Big 12 and 0-2-0 in the NCAA Tournament, losing to West Virginia both times.

- The win over Notre Dame was the highest ranked win in program and it was just the fifth win over a Top 10 team on the road.
- Sophomore Jadin Bonham's goal in the 110th minute pushed the Buckeyes through. It was just the fourth goal in the 110th minute or later in program history and the third latest overall.
- Junior defender Mia McSweeney played a beautiful cross to Bonham for the game-winner. The assist marked the first point for McSweeney as a Buckeye.
