THE COUGS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN



The Cougs won their second MWC Conference Championship on Saturday.  They beat UNLV 4 - 0 on Thursday night, and then knocked off Utah 1-0, on Larkin's second half goal.  They picked up some awards at the banquet.  Andrea Willis was named the defensive player of the year, Katie Larkin the offensive player of the year, and tournament MVP, and Jen Rockwood was named Coach of the year.  The Cougs also placed a few players on the the MWC all conference, and all tournament teams.  Karen Cook, Andrea Willis, Jessica Harmon-Carter, and Katie Larkin were all part of the MWC Tournament team.  The Cougs spent the week in Las Vegas, and were spent some time eating large amounts of food at the buffets in Vegas.  They were also treated to a special treat and had the opportunity to see Phantom of the Opera, for motivation of course for the championship game.  It was amazing!  



The girls did a great job, and they will continue their quest for the NCAA Championship.  The brackets were released Monday night, and BYU will face Virginia Tech in the 1st round, and the winner of that game, and the USC vs Boston University, will play each other.  The great thing is, BYU was given the home bid, and the girls are looking forward to being home and defending their home turf.  The Cougs are set to kick off at 7:00 PM on Thursday night, November 13, 2008.  USC will face off against Boston University on South Field at 4:00 PM on Thursday night.  We need all the support we can get!  Come out to the game, and cheer the Cougs on!  Thanks to everyone who supports BYU Women's Soccer, we appreciate you!  See you guys on Thursday night!

I love this team! I have never liked watching soccer before, but the talent and heart of this team it so exciting! I can't wait to see you play the Nat'l champs on Saturday! Your passion for the game has been so fun to watch this year (and it may surprise some Trojans on Saturday)!
