Two Big Games . . . Two Big Wins!

The Cougs have been on fire the last week!  They took off on Monday to a little place called Miami, to play University of Miami.  A few things to remember, the girls have been on the road for the majority of September and have had their share of ups and downs.  Miami and Michigan State are both undefeated.  Miami has only allowed 1 goal on the season, and Michigan State has allowed 2 goals.  

Auna Janis scored 68 minutes into the game.  She received a cross from Lauren Anderson and Auna did a nice job of putting it in.  The girls came out with a lot of energy and excitement for the game, and pulled of a tough win on the road.

The Cougs then returned home to face Michigan State, where they would have their hands full with a tough offense.  Andrea Willis scored in the first half off a beautiful free kick to put the Cougs up 1-0.  The team suffered a tough loss when Jess Harmon Carter received a controversial red card, and were forced to play a man down.  With about 20 minutes left in the game, Jennie Marshall flicked the ball over 4 defenders and out ran, yes not 1 or 2 or 3, but all 4 of their defenders and slotted the ball in the back of the net.  The Cougs went on to win to tough games, and will head to Cal-Berkley on Thursday!  Good work team, keep it up!

Welcome Home Cougs!



The Cougs were in town for just a few days, and they had a big home game against Idaho State.  They pulled off great victory 2-0 and continue to be undefeated at home.  Whitney Feller, and Jennie Marshall had their first goals of the season.  Kassidy Christensen was all over the place, and worked hard to make the goals happen.  There were just over 2,000 fans at the game last night, and the girls love the support and the energy of the crowd.  The girls are packing their bags and heading to Miami tomorrow morning. They will face off against an undefeated Miami team!  Good luck Cougs!

At It Again



The Cougs are back at it, and on the road again.  They just returned from a tough road trip to William and Mary, and Marquette.  They came back to P-town, and rested up for a couple of days, and now they are headed to Long Beach!  Although the girls have been on the road a lot this year, they are enjoying each other, and having a good time.  The girls always know how to make any situation fun.  They will return on Friday morning and will play Idaho State on Saturday night! Good luck at Long Beach Cougs!

On The Road Again



The soccer girls are back on the road again.  They are in Virginia and are getting ready to take on William and Mary, and Marquette.  They just finished with their home opener, they went 2-0 at home, and beat Georgia 4-1, and Arizona 1-0.  There were so many fans at both games, and it was awesome to see the new stadium filled with fans.  BYU has some of the greatest fans in the country, and it motivates the soccer girls, when thousands of people are cheering and yelling at the games.  Keep coming out BYU Soccer fans, you are appreciated and South Field is one of the toughest places to come and play. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing all of our fans through out the season.  I will keep you updated on how things go over in Virginia! Go Cougs!
