Cougars Knock Off Arizona and Drop One to Utah

Sunset before kickoff in Tuscon, Arizona

The Cougs have been on the road the last couple of weeks, and took a trip out to Tuscon, Arizona where they played the Wildcats! The Cougs looked good and scored in the first five minutes, with a goal from Jaiden Thornock off an assist from Carlee Holmoe and Dana Cusick.  It was hot and humid and the girls had an great performance.  Erica Owens made some amazing saves, and helped the Cougs pick up their second victory of the season!  

Warmin up for the Arizona Game

The girls also had some time in before the game, and so they decided to go bowling!  Who knew that they were good at soccer and bowling . . . There were some pretty amazing bowlers, and some that were not :) They had a competition against the coaches, and of course the coaches pulled off the victory!  Maybe next time girls . . . keep practicing!

The Cougs returned from Arizona and spent the night in Salt Lake preparing for the big game against Utah.  The Utes scored in the 30th minute, and were able to hold off the Cougs for the victory. The Cougs had some great opportunities, one from Jessica Ringwood, and another from Ashley Bazzarone in the last minute of the game that hit the top corner cross bar!  The Cougs head into this weekend with a record of 2-0-1. 

COME TO THE FIRST HOME GAME OF THE SEASON!!! AUGUST 30TH AT 6 PM ON SOUTH FIELD!!!! HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!!

COUGS DOWN UC IRVINE IN OVERTIME!!!

The girls recently returned from Irvine, California where they played their first game of the seasons against the UC Irvine Anteaters!  The Cougs have been working hard all pre-season . . . and they were so excited to step on the field and play a different opponent.  The girls came out strong and Jaiden Thornock passed a ball to Niki Fernandes and she put it away in the 29th minute.  Michelle Murphy scored her first goal of her college career in the 53rd minute off an assist from Dana Cusick.  The Anteaters started to make a come back in the second half and they scored in the 72nd minute of a PK from a handball in the box.  The Anteaters tying goal came with 45 seconds left in the game.  

The Cougs headed into overtime, and Jaiden Thornock put away a golden goal in the 98th minute to win the game.  The Cougs are headed to Arizona where they will play the Wildcats and then home to Salt Lake City where they will play their rival the Utes!
