The Cougs met on campus on a Monday afternoon to hear who they would face in the NCAA Tournament. BYU was one of the first teams to hear the brackets, and they were headed to California to face UCLA in the first round and then if they won that game they would take on the winner of Central Florida and Fresno State. The girls cheered with excitement, partly because it was somewhere warm, and partly because they were excited to be matched up with one of the best teams in nation. UCLA had a few great looks and the Cougs had 2 balls cleared off the line. It was a great game by both teams, and would remain scoreless during regulation time. Keeper McKinzie Olson made some big saves to keep the Cougs in the game. Both teams fought til the end of overtime, and were set to end the match in PK's. The girls started off strong, and made their first shot, and would miss their second. UCLA converted on all of their kicks. BYU had to make two saves to stay in the game. McKinzie came up big for the Cougs, and made two big saves. BYU was unable to covert their final kick, and ended up losing in the shootout. The girls fought hard,and had a great year!
