The Cougs finished their spring season yesterday against Utah and UVU. Don't be confused by the title "spring season", it was not a very springy day! The field was covered in snow, and snow was still falling. The first game got pushed back an hour, hoping that the snow would melt, so the girls could play. They ended up toughing it out in the cold weather, and the falling snow. They beat Utah 1-0, with a goal from Lauren Anderson, assisted by Jennie Marshall. The best part of the game was the unforgiving puddle in the corner of the field, where Carlee and Bazz both took a spill in the standing water!
The Cougs played UVU in their second game in the indoor practice facility, where it was warm and dry! Both teams went scoreless until the final minute of the game when Colette Jepson scored the game winning goal off a cross from Jennie Marshall. The defense picked up their 8th shutout of the spring season, and held their spring opponents to 1 goal. The girls looked good, and will now turn the page and start preparing for the fall. Good work Cougs!!!
One last thing, the Cougs held their annual Alumni game after the Spring Tournament. They had a great showing, with 28 alumni playing and some others, pregnant ones or ones that just had babies, there cheering them on. They had quite the crowd with friends and family of the alumni, and it is always great to get together and reminisce about the glory days! It is amazing to see all of our alumni all grown up with kids of their own! Thanks to everyone who was able to make it, the game was awesome, the food was awesome, and the company was awesome! Go Cougs!!!
