COUGS PICK UP TWO MORE WINS AT HOME!

The Cougs just finished up two home games this weekend! The Cougs knocked of Cal Poly 5-1, and then battled with ranked Washington tonight and won 3-1.  

The Cougs had 5 different players score in the Cal Poly Game!  Cal Poly came out fighting, and they scored in the first 5 minutes of the game.  The Cougs answered back with a shot off the crossbar from Jaiden Thornock, and then a goal from Michele Murphy in the 18th minute. Carlee Holmoe scored off a PK, when a Cal Poly defender had a hand ball in the box.  Jaiden scored in the 29th minute to put the Cougs up 3-1.  The Cougs created more chances in the second half and Lindsee Lisonbee Cutshall scored off a header on a cross by Carlee. Marissa Nimmer finished the scoring in the 84th minute.

Tonight the Cougs matched up against undefeated, ranked Washington!  Washington was a great team, and made it difficult for the Cougs!  Jaiden scored off a header from Lindsee Cutshall in the 12th minute of the game.  It was Jaiden's 5th goal of the season.  The Cougs held the Huskies to 0 shots in the first half. The second half was scoreless until the 75th minute when Jaiden took a shot that hit off a Huskie defender into the goal.  The Huskie's answered back with 8 minutes left in the game.  The Cougs still had time to put one more goal away, and Jessica Ringwood did just that one minute later off an assist from Murphy and Holmoe.

The Cougs matched up with the Longhorns tonight on a beautiful, overcast night! Halfway through the first half there was a double rainbow, a sign of magic in the air!  The Cougs hit the cross twice in the first half and had some headers sail over the crossbar!  They had a handful of chances in the first half and were unable to convert any to goals.  

They came out fired up in the second half and Dana Cusick scored an awesome goal form 30-yards out in the 36th minute with an assist from Rachel Manning.  Then the goals kept coming with a goal from Michelle Murphy in the 65th minute, again in the 70th minute off an assist from Carlee Holmoe, then Murphy assisted Carlee in the 73th minute and then Linsdi Cutshall scored the final goal in the 85th minute to lead the Cougs to a 5-0 victory!  Lindsi's shot was #3 on ESPN's top 10! The Cougs played an outstanding game keeping possession the majority of the game and finishing with 30 shots, and holding the Longhorns to 8 shots.

COUGS BEAT COLORADO COLLEGE

The field at halftime during the lightning 

It was a beautiful night . . . blue skies, an awesome crowd and the Cougs were ready to take on Colorado College!  Jessica Ringwood scored in the first half off an awesome assist from Carlee Holmoe! The rain clouds were moving in fast about a minute before halftime, and the rains came pounding down right at the whistle. The crowd had to evacuate because the lighting was to close, and they all took cover in the fieldhouse. After the rains came down and the wind blew, it was all clear for the second half!  

The Cougs came out fired up and they were flying all over the field.  Jaiden ripped a shot that snuck by the keeper to make it 2-0.  The Cougs had more chances and would end the game with a 2-0 victory over Colorado College.  

After everyone left the stadium for the lightning
