The Spring Comes To An End

The BYU Cougars finished up their Spring Season on their home field, hosting their annual outdoor tournament.  The weather was off and on throughout the day, and the teams enjoyed slipping and sliding in the rain. BYU finished up the Spring beating Dixie and Weber in the tournament.  The Cougs had a great spring, and had the opportunity to try some new things and play some great teams. The girls will continue to work out throughout the summer and make their way back to Provo at the end of July to start preparing for their 2009 season.  You can find the team on the field all summer working camps and playing pick up games.  Make sure you sign up for the summer soccer camps, and come out and work with the girls.  

BYU also had their annual Alumni game, where the Alumni had an outstanding showing. There were enough Alumni to put 2 teams together, with just a few subs.  The Alumni showcased their sick skills, and played an intense game against each other. There were girls out there sliding for the ball, and busting out their competitive spirit.  The girls had a great time, and enjoyed catching up with each other, and lacing up the boots and kicking the ball around.  Thanks to all the alumni that came out, and the one's that couldn't make it, we missed you.  Maybe next year Jen will let the Alumni enter a team in the tournament, those Alumni still got it.  

Keep in touch throughout the summer to see what the BYU girls are up to, and when you can see them back in action! 

Spring Tourney

The girls have recently returned from College Station, Texas where they played LSU and Texas A&M.  The girls had a chance to play two great teams and get a little revenge on LSU, who had beaten the Cougars in the Fall.  Alyssa VanderVeur scored the Cougars first goal from about 30 yards out, and Kassidy Christensen put away the second goal off a corner kick.  The Cougs went on to beat the Tigers 2-1. 

The Cougs dropped a tough game to Texas A&M, 2-0.  The girls played a great second half, and held Texas A&M to only 4 shots.  They were unable to convert in the second half, but had a chance to play one the top ten teams in the country.  The girls had a good time in College Station, and it was nice to be able to see some sunshine and play on an amazing field.  

The Cougs have their final outdoor spring tournament Saturday, April 11, 2009.  Games start at 11:00 AM, where BYU will play Dixie, then they play again at 3:30 PM against Weber.  Games will be going all day, and the tournament will end with the annual Alumni Game that starts at 5:00 PM.  There should be a pretty good showing, and the Alumni love getting together and reminiscing about the good ole' days, and love strapping on their boots and kicking the ball around and catching up with old friends.  Come on out and support the Cougars for their last Spring Tournament of the year!
