Football game

The Cougs returned from their road trip in Oklahoma and headed back to South Field, where they played Idaho, and Utah State. They came out fired up and knocked off Idaho 5-0, with two goals from Carlee Payne, a goal from Jaiden Thornock, and Jennie Marshall. Senior Megan Fereday headed in her first career goal. The girls played great, and went on host Utah State Thursday night. Lindsi Lisonbee scored the only goal of the match off a header on a corner kick in the 71st minute of the game. The girls battled hard and will now head into their conference play. Their first game will be against the Portland Pilots on October 6th at 7:00 PM!



The girls had the opportunity to go to the General Relief Society Presidency mtg, Conference, and then have amazing treats at the Quinton's (Megan's grandparents) beautiful condo overlooking Temple Square. Thanks so much to Matt and Lisa Richardson for arranging and organizing such a special day for the girls!!

Cougs Return Home From a Tough Road Trip


The Cougs just returned from Oklahoma with two losses on the road. The Cougs faced off against Oklahoma State last Thursday and took the #2 team in the nation to overtime. Jaiden Thornock scored a goal in the last three minutes to tie the game. The girls had an outstanding game, and Oklahoma State scored in the last minute of overtime to win the match. The girls then headed to Norman, to play Oklahoma University. They walked away with a 2-0 loss, and head home to regroup. The Cougs play University of Idaho, and Utah State this week at home.
