The Cougs battled hard in a disappointing loss in Provo on Saturday afternoon. They were matched up against San Diego State for the championship game of the Mountain West Conference. They had beaten New Mexico, 1-0, earlier in the week to advance to the finals. The Cougs played hard, and had some good looks at the goal. San Diego had some looks as well, and they were able to knock one in at the 28 minute mark. The Cougs fought hard to the end, and were unable to capitalize on their opportunities. They had 3 girls named to the 2009-All-Conference Tournament Team, Kassidy Shumway, Carlee Payne, and Lindsi Lisonbee. The Cougs will now wait to see if they get an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, which will be announced Monday night.
The Cougs also had players recognized at the MWC banquet that was held before the tournament. Andrea Wills was named MWC Defensive Player of the Year, and Carlee Payne was named MWC Freshman of the Year. They also had 4 girls named to the 2009 All Mountain West Conference First Team, Andrea Willis, Kassidy Shumway, McKinzie Olson, and Carlee Payne. Lindsi Lisonbee was named to the 2009 All Mountain West Conference Second Team.
Good work Cougs, and make sure to check back to see if the girls have an at-large bid, and where they are headed!
