It was a beautiful, clear, sunny day in Seattle, and after 110 minutes of physical play, the Cougs come home with a 2-2 result against the Washington Huskies. The Cougs went up 1-0 in the first half with a goal from Carlee Payne. The Huskies answered back with a similar goal and then one more to end the half 2-1. The girls came out fired up and put one away to tie it all up at 2-2. It was Dana Oldroyd’s first goal of the season. The game was back and forth, and the Cougs had some good chances. It was an intense game, with the Cougs out shooting the Huskies 21-15.
The Cougs first home game is Tuesday, August 23 at 7:00 PM, against Rival University of UtahCome out and cheer on the Cougs!!!!! Their next home game will be Friday, August 26 against Miami at 7:00 PM!!! Look forward to seeing all our fans!!!
The pre-season is full of two-a-days, meetings, and fitness tests, but it is also full of team bonding activities. Every year the girls have an annual slip-n-slide day, where they slide down a giant slip-n-slide at rapid speeds. This year, our dear Erica Owens unfortunately broke her leg a day before the season started. She has been in good spirits, and has been a positive, encouraging support to her teammates.
The girls also had their annual retreat at the Manning’s cabin, where they embarrass the freshmen, eat good home cooked food, and play funny games. A special thanks to the Manning’s for taking care of us and letting us stay at their cabin. The girls also gave a fireside at a stake in Spanish Fork. The girls clean up nice, and they did a great job speaking to the youth and their families.
We have a great group of girls on and off the field, and check back to see how the Cougs are doing!
The Cougs begin action in their new conference with five games in August, seven games in September, seven in October and one in November with seven home games televised nationally. The West Coach Conference match-ups will feature top-ranked teams such as the University of Portland, Santa Clara, the University of San Diego and more.
Check back throughout the season to see what the girls are up to on and off the field!
